JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – A new bill calls on Missouri to repeal an abortion ban in connection with a 2019 statute.
House Minority Leader Crystal Quade (D-Springfield) sponsors HB 544 to repeal a statute from a Missouri bill that took effect in 2019 and outlawed abortion in the state after six weeks of fetal development.
Last summer, Missouri banned elective abortions shortly after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place for nearly 50 years.
