LATEST: GOP-led Missouri Senate passes sweeping anti-abortion bill after hours of contentious debate. The individual stipulations of the bill have been passed in other states, but the Missouri bill is notable for its comprehensiveness.
The Republican-led Missouri Senate passed a sweeping anti-abortion bill Thursday after hours of contentious debate.
Additionally, the bill includes a"trigger" function, meaning if Roe v. Wade -- the landmark 1973 case that codified abortion as a protected right nationally -- gets overturned, abortion will become illegal in the state. The state Senate's passage of this bill came hours after Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, a Republican, signed a near-total abortion ban.
