Abortion exhibit thats what Missouri Capitol museum needs, lawmaker says

JEFFERSON CITY -- On a walk through the first-floor Missouri State Museum in the Capitol building, visitors see tributes to Missouri industry, veterans, Native Americans and slavery.

Rep. Mike Moon

Moon, an Ash Grove Republican, on Wednesday introduced the “Never Again Act,” which proposes that an exhibit showcasing abortion tools be added to the Capitol museum.

The legislation specifies that this exhibit must be near the exhibit on slavery. Its name draws references from the Holocaust.

One of the most powerful moments in my medical training was a lecture given by the chair of OB/GYN where she's showed us these old slides on an old school projector of pictures of complications from "back alley" abortions prior to Row V Wade. That lecture was heartbreaking and grueling but it solidified my support for choice and safe abortions.
