Missouri health officials rejected a license renewal for the state’s last remaining clinic offering abortion services on Friday, putting Missouri on track to become the first state without an abortion provider.

The clinic’s license was set to expire on May 31, but it is not yet known when the decision will go into effect, CNN reports.
