ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KCTV) – Faith leaders in Missouri and their legal team have vowed to continue to fight for women’s rights after a St. Louis judge denied the law violated the separation of church and state.
The legal team that represents 14 Missouri faith leaders who challenged the state’s abortion ban, announced on Friday, June 14, that it is set to discuss the next steps with its clients after an unfavorable ruling from St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Jason Sengheiser.
“We respectfully disagree with the court’s decision and will be discussing next steps with our faith leader clients. Missouri’s abortion ban is a direct attack on the separation of church and state, religious freedom, and reproductive freedom,” the legal team said. “Missouri lawmakers made clear that they were imposing their personal religious beliefs on all Missourians when they enacted these laws. We remain committed to restoring abortion access in Missouri.”
