(CNN) Missourians will have to wait at least one more day to find out if their state will become the first with no abortion clinics.

Circuit Court Judge Michael Stelzer heard motions Tuesday in the legal fight over the state's refusal to renew the license that lets Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood of the St. Louis Region perform abortions.

That license was supposed to expire Friday. But the judge issued a temporary order on Friday preventing the license from expiring until a ruling in this week's hearings

Arguments will continue Wednesday morning when Stelzer will hear both sides on whether to grant a preliminary injunction that would let Planned Parenthood provide services while the legal battle over the license renewal continues.

Outside the St. Louis courthouse, a group of anti-abortion activists silently protested Tuesday, with "LIFE" written on tape covering their mouths.
