Missouri Handmaid’s Tale Season 3 is Here

FEBRUARY 26, 2019:

NO need to wait for the Hulu version to be released this spring. It has arrived. Today the Missouri House perfected and debated HB126, sponsored by Rep. Nick Schroer.

The bill passed the first hurdle in the House by a vote of 110 – 37.  Every single GOP including 3 Democratic state reps voted YES.

HB126 is unconstitutional. In fact last month an Iowa judge struck down their heartbeat abortion law citing earlier decisions that found it unconstitutional.  But you know the intention…getting any of these all the way to the Supreme Court for ANOTHER opinion with two brand new conservative justices.O

Next steps?  The bill requires a third reading and a final roll call vote before progressing over to the Senate —which could come by the end of this week.

Right after the bill debate, the Speaker of the House adjourned for the day and tweeted this:

WHAT WE KNOW IS ACTUALLY TRUE:

*WE are not divided on the issue of abortion remaining legal and accessible.  Even 49% of Republicans want abortion to remain legal. In Missouri, GOP LEGISLATORS, including several Democrats, believe in using abortion as a divisive issue. 

* Many religious members want abortion to remain legal in all or most cases including Jews, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Evangelical Lutherans, Buddhists and Hindus.  Not every “religious voter” is on board with their anti-women agenda.  

* NOT ONE MISSOURI LEGISLATOR IS AN OB-GYN.  NOT ONE SINGLE ONE.
