Missouri state Sen. Tracy McCreery (D) introduced amendments that would allow exceptions for abortion in incest and rape cases. However, her efforts were struck down along party lines by the Republican-controlled state Senate.

State Sen. Rick Brattin ® pushed back on allowing exceptions. “If you want to go after the rapist, let’s give him the death penalty. Absolutely, let’s do it,” Brattin said, according to the AP. “But not the innocent person caught in-between that, by God’s grace, may even be the greatest healing agent you need in which to recover from such an atrocity.”

    I believe one of these people publically stated something to the effect of continuing through with an incest or rape pregnancy to birth is actually therapeutic for the mother.

    Welcome to Gilead!

    Getting real tired of Republicunts continuing to force their views on women and on the rest of the country regardless of what people actually want.

    Ours is the state that voted to make gerrymandering legal, and now that Idaho is getting away with criminalizing abortion, half of the US states will too within the next year.

    Missouri also has the lowest life expectency (75) of any state. Not surprising when your state is run by fucking cartoon villains. They should just change the name to Misery.
