Missouri’s last abortion clinic said that it expects to be shut down this week, effectively ending abortion in the state.

Planned Parenthood said that Missouri’s health department is “refusing to renew” its annual license, KMOV reported on May 28. If the state doesn’t renew the license by May 31, Missouri would be the first state in decades to not have a functioning abortion clinic.
