Yesterday, via Twitter:

Governor Mike Parson @GovParsonMO
As other states like New York and Virginia venture further away from the American ideal to protect and uphold the #RightToLife, I’m honored to lead a state with so many people who are committed to standing up for those without a voice.
11:14 AM – 15 May 2019

Some of the comments:

Pro-pre-birth means it’s ok to shoot em @ school after birth.

Women are the ones with no voice here.

*starts looking up job opportunities in New York*

Come to NY where women still have rights!!!!!

I’ve never be more proud to be a New Yorker.

Proud and ignorant. Quite a combination.

Get New York out ya nasty mouth

Missouri’s values are to care about fetuses more than the woman carrying them & I don’t agree w that. When people believe a 12 year old girl should give birth to her rapist’s baby, that’s not pro-life. That’s hatred of women and girls. Misogyny at its best. Welcome to Missouri!

New York and Virginia, where women have equal rights, you mean.

#GileadMissouri

they dont have a voice bc they arent people

Misogynist.

New York & Virginia passed laws so women facing death wouldn’t have to survive waiting period. Below explains late term abortion is legal. I can’t imagine pain of facing this horror. Those who advance off their pain aren’t folks I want to rule me.

If people want a state that actually values women, come see us in Vermont. No matter where you go, good luck getting the hell out of Missouri!

If this passes are you going to pass legislation for the fathers to be financially responsible? If a paternity test proves fatherhood it should be mandatory for the dad to take care of his kids. If women have to have them, men should support them.

PROTECTING WOMEN’S HEALTH So now if a woman is facing death because something went wrong with her pregnancy, she doesn’t have the right to choose to save her own life. Or if the baby has passed away, she has to carry it to term and birth it…

…even though it could cause a plethora of health problems. Newsflash: that’s not protecting women’s health or rights. That’s RISKING a woman’s health. Did you get your degree from one of those inserts that comes in a new picture frame?

Governor, I used to be “pro-life.” And then I realized it wasn’t about protecting “those without a voice.” It’s about making women’s medical decisions for them and ignoring children’s needs as soon as they’re born. You and others like you are pro-birth, not pro-life. Sit down.

You should be ashamed of yourself for silencing women and choosing campaign dollars over public health. You know this, and you just don’t care. But women don’t forget. And we are coming for you.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

72 percent of American’s support roe. Perhaps you lack and understanding of American ideals.
#WomensRightsAreHumanRights

Yes, don’t worry. As your young women are abused and mistreated, we will welcome them to NY and provide them with the care you refused to give.

Get Virginia out of your mouth

Virginia is awesome. I think you are misrepresenting the majority view in your state. You might want to look into that. Actually I don’t care, go ahead and lose next election.

You are a misogynist monster.

Congrats on making a state which many women will choose to leave or never move to, and where any business in their right mind won’t want to locate. #Gilead

So what actions are in place to protect life when children get slaughtered in school shootings. You inaction and callous disregard for those lives speak volumes … Yeah I know guns matter more than life. But carry on ..

I’m committed to standing up for the rights of women and the constitution. You do not represent my values.

To bad you don’t respect women’s rights over their own bodies. You are a joke.

The #RightToLife is the #RightToChoose
Women and their bodies are not for this shit government to control

Proud to be from Virginia – our Commonwealth respects and promotes freedom to make decisions about one’s own body and the welfare of living children – children being ignored and disregarded by your party.

You should be horrified and ashamed that you are dragging America back to the Middle Ages and putting women’s lives and health at risk. Shame on you

What about my voice? What about the voices of all of the women you refuse to hear? What about my right to health care? What about my body autonomy? Oh right, none of that exists in your eyes.

Willing to support the children after they are born or are you a hypocrite?

Except for women – you are leading a war on women and we will not forget. Just like Greitens – you want to keep women tied up in the basement and without a choice for their body.

It’s not America’s ideal. It’s the ideal of people like you who think they have a right to tell women what they can do with their bodies. You have no right. And you know what else, Bub? Women are done taking your male domination bullshit. You will not control us.

Fuck you.

you’re taking our voice away. you are such a piece of shit

Go fuck yourself.

Don’t you dare call denying rights to women an “American ideal”, you shit

You are a liar and a hypocrite. You understand nothing of American ideals (say, liberty) and care or know even less about women’s health. You’re trying to kill women and subjugate them to your extremist theocratic world view. It’s despicable.

From Virginia with love… Fuck you clown

You know you Republicans need to make up your minds.. you can’t be against birth control AND abortion. What the hell do you idiots own a coat hanger factory?

Now that you mention it…

Today on Twitter:

Governor Mike Parson @GovParsonMO
It’s time to make Missouri the most Pro-Life state in the country! Thanks to leaders in the House and Senate, we are one vote away from passing one of the strongest #ProLife bills in the country – standing for life, protecting women’s health, and advocating for the unborn.
11:14 AM – 15 May 2019

Some of comments:

People will still have abortions, why not spend more money on education and contraception?

I’m assuming that you will put measures in place to punish men who do not pay 50% of child support or provide 50% of the care for these children? Otherwise you are just punishing women for sex, not truly helping children.

Clumps of cells get rights actual voting women only wish they had.

For the life of me, I can’t understand the blinders thinking of pro-“life”, but anti-common sense gun legislation. Anti social services. Anti adequate health care. Anti teacher support. I can’t fathom why THIS is your goal. As a lifelong resident, it sickens me.

Because they can.

This bill will not be popular. Just like undermining Clean Missouri and the Medical Marijuana amendments will not be popular.

The MO GOP is overreaching, and it will pay for it dearly in 2020.

hey mike, have you ever bled from your vagina?

You do know this covers mistresses too?

It would be great if MO Repubs cared as much for the born, rather than continuing to scale back social support programs.

Not to mention hospitals and other medical care facilities anywhere other then major cities.
But keep voting Republican…

Can we find something else to be strong in?

According to this link, Missouri is SO pro life they’ve executed *checks notes* 88 people since 1976. Or did you just mean pro SOME lives?

Sharia law comes to Missouri.

Missouri women will die if these laws are passed. The loss of their lives will be on your hands because you refuse to see women as anything more than child-bearing vessels.

Great, so you’re going to make it more difficult to buy firearms? Ban high capacity magazines? Limit ammunition purchases? Require a gun registry for all gun owners and liability insurance as well? That would be the most “pro-life” thing I can think of.

This does not protect women’s health. It turns us into incubators.

I’m astounded that you think this is a good thing. You arent standing up for anything – instead of SAFE, RESPONSIBLE abortions by MEDICAL DOCTORS, you lead people back to back alleys. Forcing a woman to be an incubator is NOT protecting women’s health. Corpses get more rights.

Resign for the well being of anyone capable of getting pregnant in this state

#WomensRightsAreHumanRights

People will die if you do this.

Mike, you’re only the governor because the other white guy tied up his mistress and blackmailed her with the photos. Take your GOP righteousness and GTFO.

Missouri has the death penalty, no?

Your bill is honestly disgraceful and I’m ashamed of any “progress” you think we’ve made as a state in this regard.

This is a step backward for Missouri. Progress doesn’t mean infringing on women’s rights and making the health of their bodies more restrictive. #YouMonster.

Pro-life, you say? So when are you doing something about gun control?

Translation: I really don’t care about women’s rights or any birthed children. I’m just an old white man who wants to control them.

I don’t think those words mean what you think they mean. #RoeVWade

You’re NOT “pro-life” unless you also want strict gun control, healthcare for all, ban the death penalty, environmental protections, climate action. What you’re doing is removing women’s rights over their own bodies, imposing your religious beliefs on others, & abridging freedom.

Wow, look at all the support for your forced birth law!

we don’t want this

Pro-life? So you’ll end the death penalty? You’ll concentrate resources to improve infant mortality outcomes? You’ll make sure healthcare is not a death or bankruptcy proposition? You’ll make sure kids in school are there to learn and are not an okay sacrifice for gun ownership?

Are you expanding Medicaid? Fantastic! Otherwise “pro-life” is “pro-control women” and that’s all.

DO IT and then get ready to be voted out, you misogynistic prick. Women are sick of having men tell us what we can do with our bodies, and if you think the 2018 midterms were scary for the gop, JUST WAIT.

Focus on housing. Focus on climate. Focus on jobs. Focus on education. Focus on mental health. Those are #prolife priorities.

I dont remember voting on this…

Are we putting this to a vote? Or is my government going to take away my rights without input from Missouri’s voters?

They know if abortion rights are ever put to a popular vote, they’ll lose, so why would they bother with democracy? Pretty clear today’s GOP has no interest in a democratic process.

As a Missouri voter, No. Just No. Leave my body alone. It’s not yours.

Missouri ranks 42nd in the US in maternal mortality rates. 49th in firearm deaths. 35th in infant mortality.

You’re doing it wrong.

Protecting women’s health huh? How’d you work that one out?

Missouri Taliban.

Have a vasectomy instead Mike

Are you gonna ban guns? They be against life

Great. When are we repealing the death penalty? Or do you mean working on reducing the homicide rate? Excellent. Otherwise, get your hands off women’s bodies.

You know nothing about women’s health.

Such wrongly directed intentions! Shame!

Understand the voters do not want this. You aren’t protecting women’s health, as pregnancy has far more risks than abortion. I’ll believe you’re pro-life when this state takes care of needy kids better than we do big corporations. Early term abortion should be easily accessible.

It is a woman’s body, not yours… not mine… her body her choice. Why do old white guys #OWG feel they need or by divine policy they need to try and control them? Your god gave us free will, let them utilize it.

The governor’s mistress will always have access to safe abortions

Governor, if you want to make Missouri a pro-life state, maybe you should start by eliminating the death penalty.

It is no coincidence that states that cost more in federal funds than what they contribute to the treasury are the ones who want to manage the vaginas and uteruses of their residents…

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be sure to get involved in advocacy to stop it. #StopTheBans #ProChoice

If you do, I can assure you I will NOT vote for you or anyone else that tries this nonsense.

You’re just a #ForcedBirthExtremist. Fuck off

Got dang right Mike. We need to start executing the abortion doctors and the people that have abortions. Then Missouri will win the most pro life trophy

This being Missouri we can’t be certain it’s sarcasm.

The dead have more autonomy

Well that didn’t go well for @GovParsonMO

Stop returning us to The Dark Ages

Missouri: another state supporting forced pregnancy extremists.

Thanks for this. I will now spend my fortune supporting your opponents

If you’re trying to top Alabama, do you plan to rename your state Gilead?

Nah. If you were truly pro-life, you’d take action on gun control, support laws to fight climate change, and work on getting good health care to everyone instead of trying to take it away.

Sharia law highly enforced.

Wow, it’s a race to the bottom and Missouri wants a piece of it!
