Abortion Issue in Missouri

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A major campaign to strictly limit abortion - if not effectively prohibit the procedure - could polarize Missouri's electorate this year in this historically critical battleground state....

Under the initiative, doctors would not be allowed to perform a nonemergency abortion unless they believed "the imminent death or serious risk of substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman" would occur....

To put the measure on the November ballot, the group will need the signatures of about 90,000 Missouri residents - which even critics say is attainable.

"I think they will get their signatures," said Pamela Sumners, executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Missouri, a group that supports abortion rights. "And when they do, we'll be prepared to throw everything we've got at it."
Everything? Women's lives? Dead babies?....These NARAL people are sick!
