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.

They will definitely have so many people going to another state,
Ectopic pregnancy puts the mother at risk, in the this day and age hearing something like this is absord!
There should be an appeal for changing this law

How does a law supersede a medical emergency? Hospital staff is just supposed to standby and watch a woman die?

@Randi1125 What is wrong with these people, I remember my older cousin who was trying for years with her husband , got Ectopic pregnancy and it was so sad for her she did not want to do it but she had to even though it was heart breaking.
But even with unwanted pregnancy, it's better to give a woman that option, so many abusive people adopt a child, or that child ends up in foster care unwanted and with life time emotional damage.

I had abortion in 2017 and it was the best decision because I was not stable enough at that time neither was the father!

I don't get it either. I have a friend who would have died without surgery after an ectopic pregnancy rupture. Not maybe died, absolutely died.

Do you remember the one politician who had the gall to say women’s bodies can shut down the fertilization process? These are the men making laws controlling women's bodies.

I'm not American!
