JEFFERSON CITY Today, in response to the United States Supreme Court’s ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, Governor Mike Parson signed a proclamation giving legal effect to Section 188.017 RSMo and activating the “Right to Life of the Unborn Child Act.”
“Nothing in the text, history, or tradition of the United States Constitution gave un-elected federal judges authority to regulate abortion. We are happy that the U.S. Supreme Court has corrected this error and returned power to the people and the states to make these decisions,” Governor Parson said.
“With Roe v. Wade overturned and statutory triggers provided in HB 126, we are issuing this proclamation to restore our state authority to regulate abortion and protect life. Thanks to decades of conservative leaders, Missouri has become one of the most pro-life states in the nation, and our Administration has always fought for the life of every unborn child. Today, our efforts have produced what generations of Missourians have worked and prayed for: Today, we have won our fight to protect innocent life,” Governor Parson continued.
Governor Parson’s proclamation notifies the Missouri Revisor of Statutes of the effective date of Section 188.017 RSMo.
Section 188.017, or the “Right to Life of the Unborn Child Act,” includes several provisions:
Prohibits doctors from performing abortions unless there is a medical emergency;
Creates criminal liability for any person who knowingly performs or induces a non-medical emergency abortion and subjects his or her professional license to suspension; and
Protects any woman who receives an illegal abortion from being prosecuted in violation of the Act.
The “Right to Life of the Unborn Child Act” was included in HB 126 and contingent upon the U.S. Supreme Court overruling Roe v. Wade in whole or in part. Governor Parson signed HB 126 in 2019.

Today:
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt Becomes First to Issue Opinion Following SCOTUS Opinion in Dobbs, Effectively Ending Abortion in Missouri
Jun 24, 2022, 09:22 AM by AG SchmittFollowing the Supreme Court of the United States’ ruling in Dobbs that overturns Roe v. Wade, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt today issued an opinion to the Missouri Revisor of Statutes that “triggers” parts of Missouri’s House Bill 126, effectively ending abortion in the State of Missouri. Missouri is the first state in the country to do so.
“Today, following the United States Supreme Court’s ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, with the issuance of an attorney general opinion, my Office has yet again reinforced Missouri’s dedication to protecting the sanctity of life, both born and unborn. 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,” said Attorney General Schmitt. “My Office has been fighting to uphold the sanctity of life since I became attorney general, culminating in today’s momentous court ruling and attorney general opinion. I will continue the fight to protect all life, born and unborn.”
Section B of HB126 states, “The enactment of section 188.017 of this act shall only become effective upon notification to the revisor of statutes by an opinion by the attorney general of Missouri…”
And Section 188.017 that is “triggered” by an attorney general’s opinion states, in part, “Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, no abortion shall be performed or induced upon a woman, except in cases of medical emergency…”
Thus, with the opinion from the Missouri Attorney General’s Office, abortion, except in cases of medical emergency, is now outlawed in the State of Missouri.
The opinion states, “By issuing this Attorney General Opinion No. 22-2022 and providing it directly to you, I hereby provide notification to the Revisor of Statutes, pursuant to § 188.017.4(1), that the United States Supreme Court has overruled, in whole or in part, Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), restoring or granting to the state of Missouri the authority to regulate abortion to the extent set forth in § 188.017, RSMo, and that as a result, it is reasonably probable that § 188.017 would be upheld by the court as constitutional.”
[….]

The Attorney General’s Opinion No. 22-2022:
“…Missouri is the first state in the country to do so…”
That’s going to be some campaign slogan for Eric Schmitt (r): “I’m quick on the trigger.”

Some of the responses:
Pray that these justices remember their words from when they were being considered for their current positions, that stare decisis had real meaning to them.
I think you meant self righteous.
Correction… Self Righteous… your views and opinions are no more morally superior than mine.
You wouldn’t know righteousness if it slapped the hypocrisy out of you.

This afternoon:
Josh Hawley @HawleyMO
The Democrats’ radical pro-abortion bill would disenfranchise every voter in Missouri, overturn our state laws – and give the power to DC Democrats
2:30 PM · May 11, 2022
Every?
As usual, there is much hilarity in the responses:
So all women in your state are pro life 100%? I find that very hard to believe.
So do they.
Senator Hawley abortion care is part of women’s health care so if you oppose abortion access than you are for restricting women’s health care which would relegate women to second class citizens.
You would know something about “disenfranchise (ing) voters”, huh?! But in this case, Repubs are attempting to ignore the will of 70% of the population. A true representative of the people (district &/or state) would LISTEN to the people they represent & vote accordingly.
Reality is it allows women simply to maintain the rights our grandma’s had.
Our daughters/grands will die when go to hospital unexpectedly, require abortion type procedure to save their life but it’s unavailable due to politics. 1000’s of women will die.
Yes, the point of rights is that they can’t be taken away by a majority that wants to hurt some people.
How do you claim to be a “Constitutional lawyer” without knowing any of the basics?
#ResignHawley
And if they can’t be taken away by a majority, they certainly shouldn’t be taken away by a small but vocal minority.
Maybe your laws should stay the fuck out of women’s bodies?
Hawley and his DC GOP colleagues are putting lives of pregnant people in jeopardy b/c they think it will keep them in power. If you continue to elect them you are taking away the right of your sister, spouse, daughter, nieces, neighbors to access healthcare.
Hard to believe Hawley is an Ivy league graduate. Does he not take polls of voters? I live in MO and am pro-choice.
Keep abortion legal, Hawley.
How Josh.
Don’t just say something.
Show MeAs I recall, every voter in Missouri was disenfranchised when the state legislature struck down TWO Constitutional amendments voted by the PEOPLE of Missouri to draw legitimate voting districts and keeping dark money out of politics
How would you know what Missouri voters want? Book tours, promoting candidates in other states, going to conferences in other states and going on media shows to express your disapproval of anything that Democrats suggest. Josh Hawley, Senator from anywhere but Missouri!
The bill is neither “radical” or “pro-abortion”, but it will sustain the freedoms women have known since 1973.
“Radical pro-abortion bill” in Hawley speak being “a bill that would allow women to make their own healthcare decisions without busybody, white and overwhelmingly male Republicans having a say”
STOP. I am a Missourian and you dont even come close to speaking for me.
No it will give women the power to make their own choices
This makes no sense
“Dear America, Sorry about Josh Hawley, Sincerely, Missouri”
You don’t even live in Missouri, Josh.
No it gives women the power over their own bodies. No uterus, no opinion!
How does having rights disenfranchise me? I’ll need you to explain it.
You don’t live in Missouri.
Do you live in Missouri?
How would it disenfranchise every MO voter? I’m pretty sure the whole state doesn’t vote the same way you do.
Says the man whose residence is in Virginia.
I am one of your constituents and I vehemently disagree with you. It’s a woman’s right to choose, not yours.
What exactly do you get paid to do?
Virginian says what?
You don’t even live in MO. What do you care?
Maybe you should try living here and then you can talk about us like you know anything
How does it disenfranchise anyone? And how would it overturn your state laws? As of now, abortion is still legal. And you are still a traitor.
Missouri women may want a word with you

Democrats support abortion up until the minute before the baby is born and a moment after. It’s unacceptable.
8:36 AM · May 10, 2022
Some of the responses:
Pants on fire, Ann.
That is an untrue statement, Ann!
Okay, a liar, too.
Name ten democrats in state or federal legislative bodies that have spoken in support of something as radical as this. I’ll wait.
This is a complete lie. Shame on you.
The bare minimum we should expect from a representative is not to mislead her constituents with such a ridiculous lie. You can’t even clear that bar.
Liar.
That’s a lie. It’s misleading. It’s patently false. It harms women and children.
Did someone tell you this or did you make it up?
You lie.
How about you stop LYING?! FFS you are an embarrassment.
Typical of you to lie, just like the rest of the GOP.

Late on Monday night a week ago an extensive U.S. Supreme Court draft majority opinion by Samuel Alito was leaked indicating the court will reverse Roe v Wade (1973). On Tuesday the Supreme Court confirmed that the document was authentic.
Yesterday in Kansas City several hundred pro-choice demonstrators gathered at Mill Creek Park for a rally and picketing.
At one point early in the demonstration one individual approached from the north in the park.
…Someone never fails to make that mistake – berating a large gathering of pissed off women. They didn’t back down. Which seemed to upset him even more…
The audio is from a digital audio recorder via a lavalier microphone. Wind noise, street sounds, and the camera shutter are also audible in the recording.
