  • Testimony in Opposition to HB 467 & 468 – MOSIRA –  Establishes the Missouri Science and Innovation Reinvestment Act (open-ended life sciences research with no pro-life protections in their original forms.) – Sponsor Representative John Diehl and Chair of the House Economic Development Committee, Representative Anne Zerr worked with Missouri Right to Life to place pro-life protective language in numerous sections of HCS HB 468 at which time, as long as the protections stay on the bill, Missouri Right to Life becomes neutral on this economic development bill.  Of course Missouri Right to Life will continue to monitor this legislation as well as all other House and Senate economic development legislation for pro-life concerns.  Thank you to Rep. Diehl, Rep. Zerr and the House Economic Development Committee for voting to place pro-life protections on HCS HB 468.  We will keep you updated.

  • Testimony in Opposition to HB 636 – Establishes the Compassionate Assistance for Rape Emergencies (CARE) Act which requires hospitals and health care facilities to provide emergency contraception to sexual assault victims – This bill promotes the use of abortion causing drugs.

  • Testimony in Support of HJR 26 & SJR 15 – Proposes a constitutional amendment prohibiting state government from recognizing, enforcing, or acting in furtherance of certain actions of the federal government.  This allows people to vote on whether they want federal funding of abortion or embryonic stem cell research.

  • Testimony in Opposition to SB 79 – MOSIRA –  Establishes the Missouri Science and Innovation Reinvestment Act (open-ended life sciences research with no pro-life protections in their original forms.) – Sponsor Senator Jolie Justus (rated anti-life by Missouri Right to Life PAC).  Senator Eric Schmitt placed the language of HB 468 with the pro-life protections worked out with Rep. John Diehl and Committee Chair Representative Anne Zerr on his economic development bill in order to control the preservation of the pro-life protections in this specific section.  These pro-life protections are in numerous sections of the MOSIRA section of the bill.  Of course Missouri Right to Life will continue to monitor this legislation in total as well as all other House and Senate economic development legislation for pro-life concerns.  We will keep you updated as these bills move through the process.
