Make no mistake — while we hope this is a temporary setback to abortion access in Missouri, anti-abortion politicians are celebrating this ruling as a win in their larger coordinated effort to overturn the will of the voters and strip us of our ability to plan our lives, our families, & our futures.

Today the MO Supreme Court made a decision that effectively reinstates an abortion ban in Missouri.
Missouri patients can still access abortion in nearby states, including Illinois and Kansas. Call us at 1-800-230-PLAN or search abortionfinder.org to find the abortion care provider nearest to you.

Complete & utter disregard for the will of MO voters. #MoLeg Republicans shut down debate to shove through another abortion ban that will be on the ballot, with shady AF language that *doesn’t even mention it’s an abortion ban* because they know we just voted to REPEAL the abortion ban 6 months ago

Really great thread here about the definition of abortion under state bans, how midwives treat with miscarriages, and what Texas stands to gain with this arrest
Maybe the big story isn’t “Texas midwife charged with alleged illegal abortions” but “Texas attacks and closes three clinics providing prenatal care for low income Spanish speakers.”
