Bill in Jefferson City to Limit Abortion Rights

Going through the Missouri House and Senate is a bill regarding consent requirements for obtaining an abortion and creates the crime of coercing an abortion. It is already a crime to coerce anyone into having an abortion, and the rest of the bill details what a physician would be required to do before performing and abortion:

• provide printed materials detailing the risks of abortions
• provide the mother with the age of the unborn child
• give the mother the opportunity to view the ultrasound and hear the heartbeat
• past 22 weeks through pregnancy, provide the mother with info about the pain caused to fetus
  
• Prominently display statements encouraging a pregnant woman seeking an abortion to contact agencies that help women carry an unborn child to full term and that no one can coerce a person to have an abortion
