Missouri Republicans advance abortion ban legislation with potential murder charges

rawstory.com

Missouri Republicans are advancing legislation that would ban all abortions and potentially charge those involved with murder, facing the death penalty. The proposed constitutional amendment defines a person as having unique DNA from conception, aiming to criminalize abortion and its assistance. This faces opposition and internal debate within the anti-abortion movement. The bill's sponsor, Senator Mike Moon, is pushing for stricter measures despite a 2024 amendment protecting abortion access. Concerns have been raised about its impact on IVF treatments.
