Missouri Judge Rejects Proposed Language of Abortion Rights Amendment

I guess I will have to give the Missouri Attorney General credit for trying to write the biggest load of chutzpah ballot summary in history.

A Missouri Judge told the A.G. what he could go do with it.

The combative language proposed by the A.G. for the ballot summary:

“allow for dangerous, unregulated, and unrestricted abortions, from conception to live birth, without requiring a medical license or potentially being subject to medical malpractice” and that they would “nullify longstanding Missouri law protecting the right to life, including but not limited to partial-birth abortion.”

The ballot summary will now feature neutral language.

I haven’t read the ballot initiative. My question is, if you take out the word “dangerous” does it do all the things described? If it does, “dangerous” may actually be an apt descriptor

Ballot proposals get rejected and re-written all the time. This is normal in Missouri. Some tabloid junkies just need their fix is all. lol

Every abortion is dangerous to the child.

This whole thing was just a desperate attempt to stop the inevitable, i.e. the restoration of the previous norm under Planned Parenthood v Casey. Even in red States such as Kansas and Kentucky pro-life has been unable to prevail.

They brought this all down on themselves by getting Roe overturned.

If they hadn’t done that, they wouldn’t be worrying about ballot summaries.

Their own damn fault.

No, abortion laws are now being fought out where they are suppose to be. At the state level.

Roe was not a real law in my opinion as it was imposed by courts.

Bad law.

Whether Roe was bad law or not, it had the grace of protecting Republicans from themselves.

Republicans have already paid, and will continue to pay, a significant political price for its fall.

With Roe in place, Republicans likely would have won the Senate in 2022 and would have had a larger majority in the House.

Too bad. “Protecting republicans” is no reason to weigh anchor with bad law and set the country adrift.

Republicans don’t need laws to protect themselves…stupidity has a price.
