Missouri will be the next state in line to sign a law banning abortions, when approved it will certainly be one of the United States's most restrictive bans.
MISSOURI: Missouri’s Republican governor could sign a law as early as this week banning most abortions in the Midwestern state after the eighth week of pregnancy, part of a wave of restrictions aimed at driving a challenge of abortion to the US Supreme Court.
It is part of a coordinated campaign aimed at prompting the nation’s now conservative-majority top court to cut back or overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy. Last week, the ACLU joined Planned Parenthood, the women’s reproductive healthcare provider, in suing Ohio over its recent six-week abortion ban.
Kentucky, Georgia, Utah, Mississippi and Arkansas have also passed new restrictions on abortion this year.
