Missouri’s only abortion clinic may soon close, depending on the results of a Monday hearing by a state arbiter.

Planned Parenthood and state officials have gone head to head after the state health department refused to renew the clinic’s license in June, citing a failure to meet the department’s standards.

The state health department said the clinic failed to provide interviews with several physicians who were part of what the health department called “life-threatening” abortions at the clinic. The clinic sued the department, saying it does not directly employ all of its physicians and cannot force them to give interviews.

“Regardless of if you support abortion or not, Planned Parenthood should be able to meet the basic standards of healthcare under the law,” Missouri Governor Mike Parson said at a news conference in May.

The state court judge handling the case referred it to the Administrative Hearing Commission, an independent arbiter which allowed the clinic to continue providing abortion services until the hearing.

If the clinic is closed, Missouri would become the only state in the U.S. to not have legal abortion services.
