Missouri bill proposes registry for pregnant mothers

Source: Fox 2 Now

A proposed bill by a state representative pushes to make a list of expecting mothers in the state in an aim to “reduce the number of preventable abortions,” according to the bill.

House Bill 807, nicknamed the “Save MO Babies Act,” was proposed by Rep. Phil Amato, R-Arnold.

The bill summary states that if passed, the state would create a registry of every expectant mother in the state “who is at risk for seeking an abortion” through the Department of Social Services, the Division of Maternal and Child Services. It would go into effect July 1, 2026.

This registry would also incorporate hopeful adoptive parents who have completed certain screenings—including background checks, home studies, and other investigations, according to the bill.

Just heard on THE HARTMAN SHOW on free speech tv, this AM. That a website called. [ fifty fifty. one] is organizing protests against trump in all 50 states to remove trump-ism from government. [ Indivisible] is another organization that is a movement to stop these nazis from taking over our country and destroying what is left of our democracy. Recommend joining these groups to fight to save ourselves from this dictator’s brutality. Anything you can do is what is needed. We all must join together any peaceful way we can. Making phone calls, posting, attending protests. Every way peaceful to protest, we have we must use.

Women's bodies-- handy for use in political theatrics when appealing to religious nationalist voters, and for avoiding solving real social problems.

Regulating pregnancy was part of the Gilead plan. Women in Missouri: pay attention- if they come after you, what’s next?
