2024 MO Governor's race: on Abortion
Bill Eigel:
Voted for Heartbeat Bill banning abortion in Missouri
Defending Life. Abortion (except in cases of medical emergency) is now illegal in Missouri. Eigel has always been Pro-Life and will continue to defend the most vulnerable Missourians--those that have yet to be born. Eigel voted for the
Heartbeat Bill which made Missouri the first state in the United States to ban abortions. Missouri public monies should not be used to support any organization that provides abortion to women, inside Missouri or outside our borders.

Jay Ashcroft:
is wrong for Missouri, will defend life at all cost
As a champion for human life, Ashcroft said he "encourages the Missouri legislature to adopt strict language - in legislation regarding the Federal Reimbursement Allowance (FRA) - to ensure FRA monies would not be used to fund the killing of innocent
human life." Ashcroft went on to say that "Abortion is wrong for Missouri and I will defend life at all cost and would encourage the legislature to do the same by restricting FRA monies."

Mike Kehoe:
Plans to vigorously defend state's abortion restrictions
If Kehoe wins the GOP primary, it's highly possible he would be running while an initiative to legalize abortion is on the ballot. Kehoe said he plans to help vigorously defend the restrictions
Republicans have enacted. "It's something that we're going to defend and defend until we don't know how to do it anymore," Kehoe said.

Crystal Quade:
Stand with women for right to make own healthcare decisions
Every person should have the autonomy to make decisions about their body and their life. Republicans have passed extreme abortion bans in recent years, including a law that banned access to abortion even in cases of rape, incest, or medical need.
As state representative and Democratic Floor Leader, Crystal has stood and will continue to stand with women for the right to make the best decisions about their healthcare for their own lives.

Bill Eigel:
Defeat the abortion initiative; defend the sanctity of life
This November, thanks to weak establishment Republicans and our weak initiative petition [IP] laws, we could see abortion legalized up until the moment of birth.As governor, I will be a leader and we will defeat the abortion initiative in November.
Republicans across Missouri have demanded IP reform for years. With the very real possibility of the IP process being used to enshrine abortion in our constitution, we must fight like never before. Desperate times call for desperate measures. We must
defend the sanctity of life and do what it takes to ensure abortion is never legalized in Missouri.
Currently, a simple majority of 50% is all that is needed to amend the Missouri Constitution. I support concurrent majority ratification which
would require a majority of legislative districts, ensuring the voices of all Missourians are heard and not just the big cities. We must ensure constitutional amendments are broadly supported across all areas of our state and ensure rural representation.
