The bill language:
SECOND REGULAR SESSION
HOUSE BILL NO. 1572
101ST GENERAL ASSEMBLYINTRODUCED BY REPRESENTATIVE KELLEY (127).
3597H.01I DANA RADEMAN MILLER, Chief ClerkAN ACT
To amend chapter 9, RSMo, by adding thereto one new section relating to the day of tears.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the state of Missouri, as follows:
Section A. Chapter 9, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 9.342, to read as follows:
9.342. January twenty-second each year is hereby designated and shall be known as the “Day of Tears” in Missouri. The day shall commemorate all those lost to abortion. The United States flag and Missouri state flag shall be flown at half-staff on all government buildings on the day of tears.
Lack of access to healthcare? No problem. Resistance to simple and effective public health measures? No problem. Death penalty? No problem. Mass shootings in schools (and elsewhere)? No problem.
That silence is defeaning.
Previously:
Celebrating forced birth (December 4, 2021)
More from forced birthers (December 4, 2021)
The “day of tears” already exists – I can not decided if it was when Grieten was elected in 2017 or the day Parson took over as Governor. Both were equally harmful to Missouri.
