Under the bill, doctors who perform an abortion after the eight-week cutoff could face five to 15 years in prison. Women who receive abortions would not be criminally penalized.the latest in a wave of state on the last day state lawmakers were in session Friday., called Missouri Stands With the Unborn, by a vote of 24-10 on Thursday morning.
Once enacted, the law will only kick in if Roe v. Wade is overturned, and Planned Parenthood was assuring women in the state that facilities that provide abortions are still open in Missouri and neighboring Illinois. "Gov. Parson is willfully aiding in the systematic downturn of health outcomes across our state, and banning safe, legal abortion is just the latest effort," said M’Evie Mead, the director of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Missouri in a statement."Shame on him for suggesting the government should have a say in when and whether someone becomes a parent."
Anti-abortion advocates across the U.S. are pushing for new restrictions on the procedure in hopes that the now more-conservative U.S. Supreme Court will overturn more thanIn the past two weeks, both Alabama and Georgia have passed strict abortion laws, although they have not yet taken effect, and may never be implemented, depending on results of court challenges.
Despite ongoing political attacks, Planned Parenthood health centers are open and seeing patients for all normal services, including abortion care, across the country.
And as far as “medical emergencies” are concerned, who’s to say that a woman will be denied an abortion even if her life is in danger? If a doctor-any doctor-faces a possible prison sentence, he may decide to simply let the woman die rather than face a judge. It can happen!
Bullshit! It's a woman's right. As long as they not just getting out here,having sex, using no protection. If a woman is raped or it's incest, that should be up to the woman! I personally wouldn't want to have a rape or incest baby.
arnoldgmac59 While the evangelicals who support these laws are making a great joyous noise, they are the minority. This will boomerang against the GOP.
Lol ignorant Rep. Barry Hovis looking like a Easter bunny in May, suppose to be lawmakers. How do you give consensual rape?
Grow a vagina then maybe you’ll change your way of thinking. If your 11 year old daughter or granddaughter was raped and made to carry the baby to term will you raise the child?
Repubs have been waiting a long time to stack the deck in their favor. Trump, his SCOTUS, the DOJ, Senate, etc.... Now the Red States think they can do and say whatever they want, boldly and without shame. It's embarrassing to live in MO. laughingstock
White men gone crazy
This is absolutely disgusting and archaic! I never thought I would be fighting for women’s rights in this day and age...and I will be fighting.
So Missouri just declared slavery of women. When a person looses a right to make decisions about their body, their life, their future and rape becomes a non-crime - that is slavery.
No need to visit or spend money in Missouri
If u don’t want a baby. Don’t produce one. Safe sex mayb And if raped, gonna wait around 8 weeks to make a decision? Heartbeat equals human.
Resist___45 Is the governor of Mississippi pregnant? Seems to be carrying one under that tie.
Resist___45 He can keep smiling that ignorant ass smile all he wants. GOP is losing the women’s vote faster than Trump loses a million dollars.
Resist___45 Alabama and Missouri (among other states) desire to roll back time is highlighted by the old white men leading the charge!!! MEN determining and deciding what women can and can't do with their bodies? Wake up GOP!!! Its the 21st century.
Eight weeks is better than Alabama
eviebauer727 Yet recently gop , one of their own just resigned because he asked mistress to get abortion.

Rape and incest are 1.5% of total abortions.... .we need to deal with the 98.5% ...the vast majority ...FIRST ...
Who has a list of the corporations backing these men?
SHAME on MO AL and OH
What about for politicians mistresses
Another man making decisions over women’s rights and choices. GovParsonMO you have the capacity to provide child welfare support for more kids who will be in your system? Women who seek abortion will get more prison time than their rapist WomensRights AbortionIsAWomansRight
Any Democratic woman who has the means should either run for office in these states, or get the hell out. Red states won't survive a mass exodus.
morgfair Rape and incest be buggered. They are not dealbreakers. Nobody should interfere in the health and welfare of women and put them into danger by making abortion illegal. This will kill women.
morgfair Notice all men seem to appear in these situations! VOTE WOMEN 2020
An all out attack on women's rights going on here in these red states . Women unite now to counter this bullshit .
Woman can stop these heinous laws. Woman, exercise you right, vote the men out!!!
Well. It all comes down to Justice Roberts.
We’re getting closer! Love this trend!
This is so stupid!!!! What gives f-ing politicians the right to decide for a woman 👩
This is an outright attack in woman and it’s also forcing religious beliefs into others via the government!
More white men!
hardball Fat old white men don’t control my body.
We need a new Missouri Compromise. The compromise is that all the motherfuckers there and Alabama that voted for this shit start their own country on an abandoned oil tanker in the middle of the ocean and allow women to make their own healthcare decisions!
Don’t worry MO repealing Roe won’t affect well heeled suburbanites in KC or St Louis, if they need a procedure they can just fly 2 another state. Women without 💰 will get Coach class privacy/healthcare..
Another place I'll have to avoid supporting. Weak men. I'm sure they'll pay for their Mistress's private abortion, though. All for it for themselves.
Can’t wait for there kids get raped and they ending up getting pregnant are they going to have the kids
If it were their daughter. That’s the only time any of them ever care
Post dictator era rhe world wonder how decent minded people let this happen to their country and the answer is always by one law at a time.
WomenArePeople
Amen!
I can’t imagine why all these poor, southern states want to force the victims of incest & rape to gestate & birth the babies of the men who rape them. And they wonder why ppl leave these states in droves.
I cannot help but think about why these elected officials wouldn’t include rape and incest, but then I remembered that some people normalize abnormal concepts and acts despite scientific evidence that proves how wrong it is!
Good, although its a catch 22 for Republicans as statistically speaking the majority of black babies saved will grow up to vote Democrat.
Missouri es una mierda al igual que Alabama.
Just an observation......look at who is in the room when you see pics of these people signing illegal abortion bills into law. All older white people. Our country is no longer a majority white people so why do our laws only reflect the opinions of those people. Equality...um no.
Flyover country never ceases to amaze
👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Rape is an act of hate and violence. This bill makes it a more effective weapon!
hardball There is something wrong with our country. A person should not be held responsible to raise a child of rape. Wake up America!
Yeah, id just do like the president. Disregard the law. Dont pay attention.
Why do these men want to decide for women. SMH
Its not pronounced Misery by accident.
Old white men.
The young will leave your state!
oh. look. old fat white man. WTFU. wtfu
Yes! Vote yourselves out of office, be as awful as your dried up nuts allow.
BoycottAlabama BoycottGeorgia BoycottMissouri
Another state Hollywood can add to it's list of places they won't film anymore.
We need to hit the streets, write and call congress, write postcards to voters, engage with the young people so they will vote locally and nationally, talk to people who have lived thru pre-Roe times and women who have had to bear a rapists’ child. Vote all the extremists out!
That’s another 🖕up,misogynistic, sexist, white supremacist, following trump’s evil agenda, banking on 🇷🇺 support to maintain illegitimate power!
I don’t see any women in this room!!
Just a thought.
Outstanding....
Next stop: a woman’s right to vote. Just wondering how many steps BACKWARDS Republicans need to go? Are they still living in the 19th Century?
So lawmakers really making ok for women to raise babies that are a product of rape? Y'all are awful human beings
hardball All these state’s are going to do is have women find other ways to abort. Coat hangers or any thing sharp enough to damage the fetus. New York had women coming into hospitals because they could not get the coat hanger out of their vagina.
It is clear that men in power in this country are looking for some way to control women. Otherwise, why are so many of them bent on passing laws governing our rights as women? They are full of shit!
So...Missouri is telling young girls and women who are victims of rape or incest that they do not matter. Suck it up buttercup. What if the Gov's daughter becomes pregnant during a rape? Tell her directly its a 'gift'. Deal with it. Or, HAVE HER MAKE THE CHOICE!!!!!
Surprised that the Missouri House does not pass a law that mandates that women wear chastity belts all the time...
Because rape and incest create a lot of pregnancies. A real scorecard of virility.
hardball What the actual f____
hardball It's a shame to use white women as pawns in a game, white folks have had many years to be in control now it's time for change the zero growth and go into minority status, because what goes up must come down.
Next ladies, they will pass the bill for us to remain quiet and to go back to being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen to only serve men. And oh, open your legs so I can be pleased. Just be quiet and do what I say. WomensRightShouldNotBeControlledByMen
The day women are forced to have decisions made for us about our bodies, our mind and our lives is the day all women lose. There are no decisions made for mans body, mind or how they live. why is this all on the woman? Because we are a threat to a mans ego?
Does Missouri have an exception for IVF embryos like Alabama does?
Thank you, law makers! Glad to see other states joining the fight to save lives of the innocent! Great way to end the week.
Do they not get National or world news in MO? Do they know there is a world outside of that s hole? Do they read? Can they read? I bet they are big porn watchers! Conservatives always get the abortions they need.
Is a good thing,but I guess the end of the world is coming pretty soon for the left.
These'TIC TOC' bills won't fly! We'll all hear THEIR heartbeats when 51% of the population start to move AS ONE to defeat this tiny religious WTF right. The GOP will never live down these decades of mass incarceration, income inequality, attacks on Healthcare and ROEvsWADE! Ect!
hardball What’s going on?
hardball Why would any woman vote Republican?
Vote em OUT!!
Feel bad for all the people with there comments they must all had bad parents to want to kill kids
Of course they will allow rape and incest, most of them are the one's doing that!
Not for rape and incest because they condone those actions. MissouriSupportsRapists
To the sad dems...u can just go to a different state and kill ur kid if u like and be ready to here on ur death bed hello mommy I forgive u for killing me
That's all right we still going to keep our mind on our election polls balance and every state so you won't cheat on that and you not going to go nowhere taking women's rights away
TaritaC At some point, I truly believe we must become 2 district countries.
Even the saudis allow up til 16 months. Alot of woman dont show signs in the first 6-8 weeks but oh well missouri a flyoverstate not my problem.
But the lawmakers whose friends, fiances, daughters, and sisters get pregnant will find a way to 'take care of it.'
The irony in all this BS, is that this is all the Trump enablers doing. Donald with all of his cheating and adultery has probably 'taken care of ' a few problems of his own in his past.
Always thought Missouri should be Misery
Old. White. Men. Every. Time.
I wonder how many abortions are performed because birth control pills failed them. Women do have a choice over their own bodies BEFORE they get pregnant. Once your pregnant, it’s no longer just about you. These laws make sense.
But these privileged white men won’t protect our children from gun violence. Hypocrites!
GovParsonMO guessing you all don’t view rape or incest as medical emergency for victim?
Yes!
Not surprisingly, it's YET another FAT-ASSED old white man making decisions about a woman's body.
We should be legislating that every unmarried man of child producing age have a vasectomy. Abstinence don’t stop rape & incest. But a mandatory vasectomy would stop a possible forced pregnancy.
Why is it always the old, fat dudes that are trying to tell women what they can do with their bodies?
We need to ban boner pills
If the Heartland only had a brain...
These men are sickening I hate you all! May god forgive you! God is love and love forgives. How dare you think you can judge us women! You will rule the day! Religion is a personal choice and so is MY body. Truly hate republicans today!
What the actual hell?
The poor women of Georgia, Alabama & Missouri. What's next, their voting & driving privileges are revoked? 🤷♂️🤷♂️ The Stepford Wives is no longer just a movie.
Slavery. MO sucks.
Omg.
Rape and incest ARE medical emergencies. Any MD and nurse can confirm.
Three down. 47 to go. No more kill at will in Missouri.
You better VOTE BLUE IF YOU GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WOMEN'S RIGHTS ... THEY ARE HUMAN RIGHTS !! NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO WITH MY BODY !!!!! ?NO ONE ! ✌💙✌💙✌
Entirely reasonable except in cases of rape/incest. Use plan b and birth control. Readily available and cheap. WalkAway BLEXIT lexit JEXODUS
I’ve been told if I don’t have a uterus I don’t get an opinion, so I don’t care.
Another state I’ll never visit nor do business with until the ban is lifted.
Raise your hand if you’re sick of old white conservative men 🤬✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼
Dear Men of Missouri: Your women can come to California for justice.
we MUST get these religious nuts out of our governments.
So glad I left that state! They only care about the baby until it exits the canal. Then it’s “not their problem”!
conservative Christians never supported Trump they know he's not a conservative they know he's pro-choice Trump wanted the power of the presidency they wanted the power of the courts overturn roe v Wade that's what this has been about the Electoral College was bribed!
Define medical emergency... a doctor can act but then risks charges from a prosecutor who wants to make a name challenging the doctor's judgment. There are plenty of other places to practice medicine.
Now do rapists
Men who couldn’t find the clitoris are now punishing women.
It's crazy seeing men telling women they can not do what they feel fit and right for themselves. Crazy world!
This is insane.
