JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KTVI) — A bill introduced in Missouri would create a list of expecting "at risk" mothers in the state in order to "reduce the number of preventable abortions."
House Bill 807, nicknamed the "Save MO Babies Act," was proposed by Republican Rep. Phil Amato.
The bill summary states that, if passed, Missouri would create a registry of every expecting mother in the state "who is at risk for seeking an abortion" starting July 1, 2026. The list would be created through the Maternal and Child Services division of the Department of Social Services, but the bill did not specify how the "at risk" expecting mothers would be identified.
This registry would also incorporate hopeful adoptive parents who have completed certain screenings, including background checks, home studies, and other investigations, according to the bill.
Additionally, the bill would mandate the promotion of "the safe and healthy birth of children in the state through the utilization of existing resources; coordinate community resources and provide assistance or services to expecting mothers identified to be at risk for seeking abortion services; and prevent abortions through the adoption of children by fit and proper adoptive parents."
I'll be honest... the way the world is, we shouldn't be advocating for people to have as many kids as possible. They're going to grow up in a nightmare, the way we're ruining the world.
I always will... and I doubt you'd be able to convince me otherwise... be on the side of the parents. To be able to choose. The mother especially. You can do whatever linguistic gymnastics you want but it's her body. I am not a catholic. Condoms are a thing. More doesn't equal better.
To quote Agent Smith:
I'd like to share a revelation I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with their surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to another area, and you multiply, and you multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure.
