Missouri Senate Passes Bill That Would Ban Abortions After 8 Weeks

Missouri's Senate has passed a bill that would ban abortions at eight weeks of pregnancy or later, except in cases of medical emergency. There are no exceptions for rape or incest.

It's the latest in a series of sweeping abortion restrictions passed by Republican-controlled state legislatures aimed at pushing abortion challenges to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The measure, which saw a series of changes before passing, will now return to the state House. If approved there, it would head to the desk of Republican Gov. Mike Parson.

for mayor! I did some work, door to door mainly, for her before with Equality Kansas (then Kansas Equality Coalition). I will pay more attention to the KCMO mayoral race now. She seemed nice, very new at that time.

Kind of a bland statement but for now at least it is a good one. I respond more to the firebrand but she knows what she is doing I suppose.
