GET ME REWRITE: Missouri on front lines of GOP War Against Women

Headline:  Public Notice, 3/7/2024

Given the sinkhole of conspiracies that is Elon Musk’s X, it shouldn’t be surprising that Andrew Bailey, Missouri’s hard-right attorney general, used the platform to announce he was suing Planned Parenthood for “trafficking” minors out of state to obtain abortions without parental consent. 

It’s the perfect venue for Bailey to go on a fact-free screed about Planned Parenthood. But as much as the announcement was unserious, there’s nothing funny about the lawsuit. 

Missouri already bans abortions entirely, except to save the life of the pregnant person. Indeed, Republicans in the state are so hardcore that last month they voted down an attempt to add exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape and incest.
