In an unprecedented move to funnel more public tax dollars toward groups that oppose abortion, Republican lawmakers in Missouri are advancing a plan to allow residents to donate to pregnancy resource centers instead of paying any state income taxes.
The proposal would establish a 100% tax credit, up from 70%, and a $50,000 annual cap per taxpayer. The result: Nearly all Missouri households — except those with the highest incomes — could fully satisfy their state tax bill by redirecting their payment from the state to pregnancy centers.
The move comes four months after Missouri voters reversed one of the nation’s strictest abortion bans, and just as clinics have begun performing the procedure again after overcoming Republican obstacles.

The fuck does an anti-abortion center even do? Propaganda?
Sell themselves as doctors and browbeat expecting mothers into not getting abortions. Practice anti-vax and woo.
The things a midwife from the 1800s might do, generally.
more like what a current GOP voter would want done
they allow women & fetuses to suffer & potentially die when appropriate medical attention could result in more living mothers & babies (including the currently especially-cherished WHITE ones!)
In the text it calls them “pregnancy resource center”. Let’s rebrand planned parenthood and donate away!
Maybe someone should set up a shell company to funnel this somewhere else?
hi its me your local anti-abortion company
plz gib tax bux
Honestly the rules for those places are so lax that you probably could buy a food truck and call it a mobile anti-abortion clinic as long as you have a few pee sticks, some stirrups, and pamplets full of lies about abortion inside. For extra fun, instead of doing anything anti-abortion, use it to drive people to places that actually do provide reproductive care, including abortions.
I need to read this in more detail when I’m not cooking dinner. But I suspect setting up a shell company to do just that would be very easy.
Will the fund cover funerals for those who succumbed to medically treatable conditions from miscarriages & problem pregnancies that doctors hesitated to be involved with for fear of running afoul of antediluvian laws passed by misogynistic legislators?
Only state I’ve ever gotten a speeding ticket in, miserable shit state running a bullshit racket
Driving across this state right now.
In Rolla, Missouri, there’s a billboard that says “thinking about abortion? You have options” with some phone number.
Dude those are all over the country, or at least very large swaths
