Rep. Peter Merideth @PeterforMO
Every MO R voted that children can carry guns in public. They voted to defund police if a cop helps stop a fed gun crime. They voted to ban a 12 year old rape victim with major health risks from having an abortion. Bills to ban mentioning racism or LGBT issues, ban drag….

Rep. Peter Merideth @PeterforMO
Kids carrying guns on the street or in a park is a matter of individual freedom and personal responsibility. Kids seeing a drag queen read a children’s book or sing a song is a danger the government must ban. Do I have that right MO GOP? #moleg

Rep. Peter Merideth @PeterforMO
That’s right. I choose not to own a gun so I can’t have opinions about gun laws. They CAN’T get pregnant but certainly don’t mind passing laws about pregnancy. And I bet most of them don’t know much about drugs but are happy to throw people in prison for those every day, too.

Republican #moleg men: “Democrats don’t understand guns so shouldn’t be legislating them!!”

Also #moleg Republican men: “What does trans mean? What’s an ectopic pregnancy? Let’s legislate it anyway!”

Cold, wet, and overcast. Today at noon over fifty individuals gathered at the amphitheater on the campus of the University of Central Missouri for a rally in support of women’s reproductive rights. After hearing speakers the group marched to the Johnson County Courthouse, forming a picket line and chanting to passing traffic. At times those drivers honked in support.

“Women’s Rights are Human Rights”

“We are not obligated to bear your children”

There were several speakers at the rally, including Jessica Piper (D):

Marching from the University to the Johnson County Courthouse:

“Vote the Mother Fuckers Out”

“Abort the Court”

“We’ll be less Activist if you be less Shit”

Fifty years ago:

“My body, not yours”

“If you think being forced to wear a mask is bad, imagine being forced to have a baby”

“Separate Cooch and State”

It’s healthcare:

“We demand safe, legal and accessible healthcare for Everyone”

On the ballot: an act and its consequence

What to Know About the Leaked Supreme Court Abortion Draft Opinion, and What’s Next
[….]
Roughly half of the states will ban abortion almost immediately, and half the states will continue to allow abortion. But it’s important to understand that the long-term agenda of abortion opponents doesn’t end with overturning Roe. What they want is a nationwide ban on abortion. So if you’re in a state like New York or California, where you believe you will have access to abortion even if Roe is overturned, that is true in the short term. But the plan from abortion opponents is to continue to push for a nationwide ban, so that could change.

May 8, 2022 – abortion rights rally in Kansas City:

“They fucking lied…”

“…and I’m fucking pissed”

A half century of women’s right to privacy, bodily autonomy, and health care agency are gone.

Vote accordingly.
