Missouri House Votes to Protect Women and Unborn Babies from Forced Abortion

From Missouri Right to Life:

Today, the Missouri House of Representatives gave first round approval to a pro-life bill, HB 46 & 434, that will make sure that a woman is offered, 24 hours before undergoing an abortion, the opportunity to view an ultrasound, that she is given information about the development of the baby in her womb and that she understands that no one can force, threaten or coerce her into having an abortion; and that she will be given information on alternatives to abortion.

"We thank all the House Members that voted to move this primary piece of legislation for Missouri Right to Life forward in order to get this protection for women and their babies in statute as quickly as possible. We expect the final vote in the House next week which will then move the bill to the Senate for approval," said Pam Fichter, President, Missouri Right to Life
