The first court arguments over whether Missouri's sweeping abortion restrictions will fall under a new constitutional amendment are set to begin.

The leader of Planned Parenthood Great Plains says the move is a ploy to prevent a Jackson County judge from potentially knocking down other abortion restrictions. Andrew Bailey says his office will continue to enforce laws requiring parental consent and outlawing coercion.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey said the state can still enforce some abortion restrictions even after voters lifted the state's ban earlier this month, though he didn't weigh in on the constitutionality of a host of laws that are currently the focus of a lawsuit.
