Missouri Right to Life applauds those in the Missouri legislature who voted for HB 400. The original bill passed the House with a bipartisan veto-proof majority of 115 to 39. The amended bill passed the Senate with a veto-proof majority of 23 to 7. Amendments to the bill require that the House vote to confirm the Senate amendments. The bill will then move to the Governor's desk.
"This legislation bans web-cam abortions in Missouri and ensures that women will meet with a doctor in person at the time she begins the RU 486 abortion. This legislation protects women from those in the abortion industry who seek to profit from RU 486 abortions by providing sub-standard care to women," said Pam Fichter, president of Missouri Right to Life. HB 400, as amended, was read the 3rd time and passed by the following vote: YEAS—Senators Brown Cunningham Dempsey Dixon Emery Kehoe Kraus Lager Lamping Libla McKenna Munzlinger Parson Pearce Richard Romine Sater Schaaf Schaefer Schmitt Silvey Wallingford Wasson—23 NAYS—Senators Chappelle-Nadal Curls Justus Keaveny LeVota Nasheed Sifton—7 Absent—Senators Nieves Rupp Walsh—3 Absent with leave—Senator Holsman—1 Comments are closed.
