Greitens calls special session on abortion

Gov. Eric Greitens is calling back lawmakers to focus on enacting regulations for abortion providers.

The governor also wants lawmakers to debate protections for religious anti-abortion organizations.

Lawmakers are headed back to Jefferson City next Monday.
