JEFFERSON CITY — The following statement is from Susan Klein, Executive Director of Missouri Right to Life:
Missouri Right to Life has worked tirelessly for 49 years to regulate abortion and stop the killing of unborn children here in Missouri. We were successful in saving unborn children from the scourge of abortion with the overturning of Roe v. Wade after the passage of HB 126 in 2019.
We have known for some time of the threat to legalize abortion up to birth here in Missouri. We have been hard at work for the past year to prepare for this challenge.
Missouri is a pro-life state and we must ensure every Missourian, born and unborn, is protected and every voice is heard when considering change to our constitution.
The Secretary of State’s office is currently accepting public comments on the 11 pro-abortion initiative petition proposals. Please notify the Secretary of State’s office of your concerns for innocent human life threatened by these proposals. To make a comment on proposals 77 through 87 please go to this link and click on “Submit Comment.” https://www.sos.mo.gov/petitions/2024comment
