2024 MO Senate race: on Abortion


Lucas Kunce: Get rid of the filibuster and codify Roe v. Wade

I support getting rid of the filibuster and codifying Roe versus Wade. Like this law, the Missouri trigger law that was put into effect. No exceptions for rape or incest. That's crazy. The reason these country club Republicans were cool with passing that law is because it doesn't affect them. Because they have wealth. They have access. They have power. And if they or their family members need to get an abortion, they're just going to leave town and go out of state to go do it right.

Josh Hawley: Unclear on how IVF mandate would occur

Donald Trump's call for mandating free access to in-vitro fertilization has puzzled congressional Republicans, drawing a mix of skepticism and outright opposition across the party spectrum, from center-right to far-right lawmakers.

Some worried about the high cost of such a policy. Others confessed they don't understand what he's proposing to do.

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said "it's not clear to me" what Trump is proposing when asked about his IVF remarks.

And numerous Trump allies said his announcement, in an interview with NBC News in August, came as a surprise to them.

"I got the sense maybe it was something that he thought of on his own and wanted to float out there," Hawley said, while adding that he hadn't heard from Trump before the announcement. "He doesn't run his policy proposals by me."

None of the Republicans who spoke to NBC News said they had heard from the president directly on his IVF proposal either, though it would need to be passed by Congress to become law.
