Missouri bans all abortions minutes after SCOTUS ruling overturning Roe

Friday morning, Missouri became the first state to invoke a trigger law banning all abortions in the state, except in cases of medical emergency.

Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt issued an opinion that would trigger parts of a state House bill that outlaws almost all abortions in the state, with no exceptions for rape or incest. "With this attorney general opinion, my Office has effectively ended abortion in Missouri, becoming the first state in the country to do so following the court's ruling," Schmitt said in a press release.

Schmitt's quick action in Missouri is what abortion rights advocates had feared and warned would happen if, which legalized abortion nationally in 1973, was overturned by the Supreme Court. Twelve other states have similar trigger laws that would place a near-total ban on abortion once the protections underMissouri became the first state to ban abortions in the wake of Friday's SCOTUS ruling after Attorney General Eric Schmitt signed an opinion invoking the state's trigger laws.

"This opinion immediately restores Missouri's deeply rooted history and proud tradition of respecting, protecting, and promoting the life of the unborn," the attorney general wrote."Missouri has been a national leader in the pro-life movement, and this leadership is reflected in its laws.

Missouri gov can't ban abortions. It has to be the people of the state having their say by voting on it. If banning was put to a vote it would pass. There are circumstances that abortions should be legalized for, rape, incest and health of mother or child.

Thankfully I don’t live in that backward hypocritical state!!!

Remember - they just told us banning guns doesn't work - so why will this work?

Kansas, I get it now

Based

Yeah let's control women's bodies instead of passing strict gun laws. GOP gopfools NRAintheirpockets

Clickbait

Lets be honest, no longer having access to abortion isnt in the top 5 reasons Missouri sucks. Even the Chiefs are considering bailing for Kansas.

If you’re in a blue state do not march in that blue state. We have access there. Go to the red states & let them have it. Carry. Go to high income areas & show out but DO NOT march in low income areas or blue areas.

Suprised they did this with all the incest.

BOOM 'This is what democracy looks like', liberals!

wow Missouri really living up to what their names sound like missery

Wondering if there's a legal argument that mental health emergencies would qualify (suicidal thoughts/depression/etc). Might be a temporary work around (until they eliminate that as well or just start committing pregnant women to psych wards/facilities)....

Good job Missouri!

Wow. I’m beyond embarrassed for the state of Missouri

3rd world country. Congratulations!!!

Us Dems will help the with travel. And now that gun rights are being expanded in red states, maybe we'll provide women with funds to purchase firearms to protect themselves when their angry man baby spouses or boyfriends try to stop them leaving for an abortion.
