ST. LOUIS — The last clinic in Missouri that provides abortions will be able to continue providing the service, at least temporarily, after a circuit court judge on Monday granted a preliminary injunction preventing state officials from closing it down.

State officials had said that an audit of the clinic, Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region, had raised a number of serious health concerns that needed to be addressed. With the audit still pending, the state said, the clinic’s license could not be renewed.

Judge Michael F. Stelzer of Missouri Circuit Court in St. Louis said the state’s Department of Health and Senior Services had until June 21 to make a decision on the license, but the injunction would remain in place until he issued another ruling.
