SBA: Abortion Businesses Will End Unborn Life at All Stages, Go Completely Unregulated

Jefferson City, Mo. – Missourians will vote on a deceptive and extreme abortion amendment this fall, the Secretary of State’s Office announced today. The proposed amendment would protect second- and third-trimester abortion, eviscerate women’s health protections, eliminate parental rights, and ensure taxpayer-funded abortion.

Midwestern Regional Director for SBA Pro-Life America Sue Liebel warned voters what is at stake in November:

“The abortion lobby’s ballot measure would end thousands of lives. Unborn children who have heartbeats, feel pain, suck their thumbs, smile and even survive outside of the womb will no longer be protected in Missouri if this extreme measure passes. Missouri would become as radical as California in allowing horrific late-term abortions and forcing the taxpayer to fund them.

“Missouri’s all-trimester abortion amendment gives the abortion industry a free pass from operating under any health and safety requirements from the state. With Missouri Planned Parenthood business’ record of breaking the law, women and girls will be at risk if the state’s abortion industry  goes  unregulated. In the past few years, Missouri Planned Parenthood businesses were caught using moldy abortion equipment, ignoring informed consent laws, disregarding the law for 15 years to report when a woman has a complication, and  allegedly being willing to traffick a 13-year-old out of state.”

In 2022, Michigan passed Prop 3, an abortion amendment similar to Missouri’s and those being proposed in red states. In the following legislative session, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a bill to end the state’s partial birth abortion ban. When the legislature was unable to remove informed consent and guarantee taxpayer-funded abortion, the ACLU brought litigation based on the amendment.

The abortion lobby is targeting seven red states with abortion amendments in 2024. In addition to Missouri, abortion activists are pushing extreme amendments in Arizona, Florida, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota and Arkansas.

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
