MoLeg Recap: House Passes Nation’s Most Extreme Abortion Ban

The Missouri House of Representatives voted 117-39 to pass the most extreme abortion ban in the country. House Bill 126 is packed with dangerous restrictions on safe, legal abortion.

The bill includes 5 (yes, FIVE) abortion bans. Now is the time to raise your voice and tell politicians: Stop the bans!

House Bill 126 would ban abortion as soon as six weeks  — before many people even know they are pregnant. The Missouri Department of Social Services has warned this bill could cost the state $7 billion (yes, billion) in lost federal Medicaid funds. It also includes — among many other medically unnecessary measures — a “trigger law” that would ban abortion entirely if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

The decision to end a pregnancy is deeply personal. A pregnant person makes that decision in consultation with their family, their doctor, and their faith — not politicians. Take action today and tell your state senator to stop the bans!
