#resist, Hobbs, Kansas City, missouri, protest, Roevember, U.S. Supreme Court, women's health care, women's reproductive health

Don’t mistake the relative quiet for resigned silence or forgetfulness.

It’s seething. It’s still there. Maybe not noticeable to everyone, but it’s still there.

Today, in Kansas City, two individuals organized a reminder of the second anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court Hobbs decision eliminating women’s rights to choose their reproductive health care.

Impromptu, via social media. Over forty individuals gathered in the oppressive midday heat to march through Westport.

“54 years ago…”

“Bans of our bodies”

“If I made my uterus a corporation will y’all stop regulating it?

One of the organizers.

“Protect Abortion Access”

Women’s Rights = Human Rights”

Keep Abortion Safe and Legal”

“Your religion does not rule my body”

“We are Ruthless…”

“Hands off my body”

The start of the march.

Roevember is coming.

The transcript:

Dr. Jennifer Smith: ….During my more than twenty years as an OB-GYN I have had the privilege of getting to know each and every one of my patients. I get to develop a personal relationship with every patient who comes into my exam room. Knowing my patients, I know that every pregnancy is unique and every patient needs different types of care along the way. I also know that decisions have to be made in a pregnancy are deeply personal and private [voice: “That’s right.”] [cheers, applause] Or at least they should be private. Unfortunately, right now Missouri politicians are making these personal, private decisions for the women of our state. [voices: “Boo!”] Not only [inaudible], not only are out-of-touch politicians interfering with these personal medical decisions they’re also endangering the health and well-being of patients like mine. Missouri’s cruel abortion ban ties doctor’s hands, preventing us from being able to provide the full scope of health care that our patients need to live. It prevents patients from being able to seek care that can save their life, health, and future fertility. Even before Missouri’s abortion ban went into effect in 2022 we had a dismal maternal mortality rate, higher than the national rate. In state rankings of maternal mortality we come in forty-fourth. And abortion bans like ours only increase maternal mortality. No Missourian should be forced to flee the state to get life-saving care [inaudible], nor should they have to stay in Missouri and risk their life. [voice: “That’s right.”] But that’s what’s happening. Many have heard the story of [….] who, eighteen weeks into her pregnancy, experienced a pre-term, premature rupture of membranes. Her water broke, she experienced bleeding, and she learned that her pregnancy had no chance of survival. She was forced to either wait to receive care in Missouri until her situation was dire and her health in danger or, travel out-of-state for care. Which she did, making that drive across state while bleeding and in pain. It’s heartbreaking as a physician to see a patient suffer in this way. It’s heartbreaking to have our hands tied when we can provide safe, compassionate care for our patients. It’s no wonder that many of my colleagues across the state are leaving for other states where they can provide the level of care for which we physicians have been trained and expect to provide. For all these reasons I’m so encouraged that Missourians for Constitutional Freedom are turning in so many signatures today to put this issue before the voters. Passing this amendment will end Missouri’s cruel abortion ban and put personal medical decisions back in the hands of patients, their families, and their doctors [voice: “That’s right.”], not politicians. [cheers, applause] It will ensure that patients can access the health care they need to save their life, health, and fertility here in Missouri, not force them to flee the state for care. I look forward to supporting this amendment to get politicians out of our exam rooms and put patients and their families back in charge of personal health care decisions.[cheers, applause]

The transcript:

Kennedy Moore, Abortion Action Missouri: …Good morning, Missouri. [voices: “Good Morning.”] Good morning, Missouri. [voices: “Good Morning.”] [….] I just want to say, we made it to the signature finish line. [cheers] We made it, we made it, we made it. And this is a bittersweet moment. Who would have thought that we would be placed in a position for a historic time such as this? Despite every obstacle put in our way by the opposition we made it. [wind noise][….] Some of you I met only about twelve weeks ago. And others I’ve met and been working with for years. And all of us have grown immensely in the past twelve weeks from the work that every single one of us has contributed to the Missourians for Constitutional Freedom campaign. It’s been a beautiful thing to bear witness to. And I hope we will all cherish these relationships that have been built in this time and will continue to be built. A little bit of faith, a little bit of faith is what was instilled in all of our volunteers, to take action, to collect signatures across the state, and in the three hundred and eighty thousand signatures from voters that signed this petition that will be on the ballot in 2024. [applause][cheers] As we stand here before this same building, this same building where they passed the ban, where they signed it, where they signed away our rights to our bodies. [voice: “Boo!”] And where they continue to legislate against our Democracy. [voices: “Boo!”] We take back, we take back that right through the initiative petition process with the thousands of pages of petitions that we just turned in to the [voice: “That’s right!”] Secretary of State this morning. [cheers] The simple fact that we collected more signatures than the amount needed to qualify for the ballot has stretched my faith farther than I can ever imagine to think. It stretched my faith in my self, in my team that I work with every day, our movement, our state, and beyond. The Missourians for Constitutional Freedom campaign and Abortion Action Missouri thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the risks you’ve taken to get here today. We would not be here if you did not put your time, your desire for change in your home state, and your heart on the line. I hope this moment is ingrained in all of us because we are making history. We have built collective power across the state. And that is what true community organizing is about. And I hope that you know you have an organizing home in this community. And anyone else that believes in ending this cruel ban on abortion in the State of Missouri does, too. Thank you so much and I look forward to the Missouri that we will continue to build together. [applause][cheers]

Kennedy Moore, Abortion Action Missouri.
