Just Days After Alabama, Missouri Passes Restrictive Abortion BIll

Description

According to a report by Reuters, on Friday, Missouri lawmakers passed a bill that prohibits women from seeking an abortion after the eighth week of pregnancy, just days after Alabama enacted the most restrictive abortion law in the United States. The legislation reportedly only allows for an abortion after the eighth week only in the case of medical emergencies. Reuters reports that similar laws have been proposed in over a dozen other states, and Missouri's Republican governor Mike Parson is expected to sign the bill into law. Parson reportedly said that he would make Missouri 'one of the strongest pro-life states in the country.' On Thursday, Missouri senators reportedly overwhelmingly approved the legislation.
