Governor Parson Signs Proclamation Ending All Elective Abortions in MO

In response to the Dobbs decision released out of the Supreme Court reversing Roe V Wade, Governor Parson has issued a proclamation ending all elective abortions in the State of Missouri.

“Nothing in the text, history, or tradition of the United States Constitution gave un-elected federal judges authority to regulate abortion. We are happy that the U.S. Supreme Court has corrected this error and returned power to the people and the states to make these decisions,” Governor Parson said.

Governor Parson’s proclamation activates the “Right to Life of the Unborn Child Act,” which was included in House Bill 126, sponsored by State Representative Nick Schroer.

According to a release out of Governor Parson’s office, “Governor Parson’s Administration is coordinating with the Missouri Attorney General to quickly resolve any litigation against HB 126 before the Courts that is currently preventing implementation of the law.”
