Have you heard about this horrific anti-abortion bill out of Missouri?

Missouri house bill 2810 would make abortion at 10 weeks a Class A felony. That means 10-30 years in prison. It also criminalizes abortion for ectopic pregnancies. This is a pregnancy where the fertilized egg implants outside the uterus. It is nonviable and there’s no medical science or technology to change that. Ectopic pregnancies are so dangerous for women that they are the cause of 10% of all pregnancy-related deaths and the leading cause of death in the first trimester. So the Missouri GOP is giving women a choice to either die or spend 30 years in prison. Draconian.

I’m a Missourian and this is the first I’ve heard of it but I’m not surprised. Most voters in this state will love it. If I ever get my shit together I’m getting out of here and brushing the sand off my shoes.

So to clarify, it would be a felony to seek an abortion?

Correct. They're also trying to pass it that women can't cross the state line to seek an abortion.

@Randi1125 Can they do that? What gives them the right to tell us what we can or can’t do in other states? I had always heard that when Roe v. Wade gets overturned it would be no big deal for the wealthy because they would simply travel to blue states to get their abortions.

It's surreal, isn't it? How can this possibly be happening in 2022? Blame it on religious doctrine.
