The Missouri Way made it most pro-life state in the nation
The best way to fix Washington DC is the Missouri Way. The same principles we have relied on here in the Show-Me state to make
Missouri the most pro-life, pro-freedom, pro-family, pro-law enforcement state in our nation.

Supported "Missouri Stands for the Unborn Act"
HB 126: To establish the "Missouri Stands for the Unborn Act."Summary by TrackBill.com: An abortion shall not be performed upon a woman at 8, 14 and 20 weeks gestational age or later, except in cases of medical emergency.
In
Support (Vox.com): The 8-week ban is in clear conflict with Roe v. Wade, and could be challenged in court. The architects of the Missouri law came up with a "ladder structure", which they call "a first of its kind." If the 8-week ban falls, the
14-week ban would take effect, and so on.
Opposition by Auditor Galloway:˙HB126 bans abortions even in the case of rape, incest or human trafficking. [Hence] Gov. Parson wants rapists in Missouri to have more power over their victims.
A survivor of rape must accept that her attacker could have parental rights.
Legislative outcome:˙Passed Senate 24-10-0 on 5/15/19; State Sen. Dave Schatz voted YES; Passed House 108-46-1 on 5/17; Signed by Gov. Parson on 5/24.
