Republicans have introduced quite a few Handmaid’s Tale-esque bills. Still, none get closer to that dystopian reality than Missouri House Bill 807, which proposes tracking pregnant women perceived to be “at risk” of having an abortion and giving their babies to families deemed “fit” to parent.
While Missouri was once considered a swing state, it has more recently staunchly aligned itself with the far-right. The state has sought to enforce a near-total ban on abortion and proposed Covenant Marriage laws to prevent women from having access to a no-fault divorce. Missouri was one of several states that had a trigger law regarding abortion. Hence, when Roe v. Wade was repealed, a law immediately went into effect banning abortion except in cases where the pregnancy posed a threat to a woman’s life. However, recently, Missouri narrowly passed an amendment to restore abortion rights. Despite voters clearly demonstrating their support of abortion rights, conservative lawmakers are already eyeing a repeal. Additionally, they are always bringing new and even more terrifying proposals to the House in their mission to control women.
