On Wednesday:

State Representative Brian Seitz
November 6 at 12:49 PM
On Day One of pre-filing for the upcoming session, I will be filing two pieces of legislation to protect the unborn (among other bills):
– A constitutional amendment to declare the unborn as a person under Missouri law.
– A bill to provide “born alive” protections.
We WILL protect the unborn in MO. #moleg #ProLife
[….]

Some of the responses:

The voters spoke with their ballots, including republicans, and once again members of MOLEG will undue their votes. You don’t accept the will of the people.
Sums up the 22 year Republican supermajority in Missouri in one post.

We voted and you try to defy our vote the vote of missourians. Shame on you!!

It is a pattern in Jeff City.

You should think twice as you attempt to override the majority of voters regardless of gender who voted in this state – Your constituents are not only PROBIRTH folk or Republicans – WE ALL VOTED – Your job is to get out of our WOMBS and let our doctors, therapists, and significant others be present – You are stealing from people of this state and putting children and women’s lives at stake with your lack of research! Don’t throw away our money and our lives… You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater and putting women at risk – Wait – The great exodus of Gynecologists is next and women will be left to drive hours to give birth… some will die

It was never about letting the states decide. It has ALWAYS been about control. The people of Missouri voted to pass it. Leave it alone. Get your religion out of politics.

Exactly – Pro Birth is not the same as pro-life at any rate. They are actually killing women and causing the loss of our ability in some instances to bear future babies with their shenanigans.

I also don’t believe a Government Officials should be showing bias but should stop wasting money stalling on women’s wellness.

Can you clarify your position on In Vitro Fertilization for families that struggle with fertility?

[silence]

Well, I love the fact that you as a man do not understand that women are more at risk where there is no abortion care. Where healthcare, abortion care, education, reproductive care and good medical services are provided – ABORTIONS DECREASE. However, when you force women to have babies – you don’t have a plan of care for them and we just have more poor families. MISSOURI IS A GYNECOLOGICAL Desert now! Moreover, we have some of the worst maternal and infant mortality rates in this country because you force birth but don’t provide wellness, daycare, or any other services. Put your money where your mouth is and stop overriding the will of the majority. Do your research and stop putting women’s lives in danger!

and what about the born? Branson MO has a poverty rate of over 26%. MOLEG had federal funds to help feed the impoverished children in the summer months when school was out and y’all blew it off. That’s just one example of how the 22 year Republican supermajority in Missouri wants a baby born and then forget all about them, especially the working poor.

The people have decided with their votes. It is your job to stand-up for voter rights, not ignore or change the choices made. You need to follow the law, not personal opinion.

Brian is another Kool-aid drinking MAGA boot-licker that wants to impose his far right religious zealot views and ideas on everyone else.
