Legislation

Missouri pastors, led by Wesley Vance and joined by Senator Josh Hawley, unveiled a Declaration for Life at the inaugural Missouri Prayer Breakfast, calling on senators to sign a pledge against chemical abortion pills like mifepristone. Hawley introduced legislation to ban mifepristone, citing high rates of adverse effects, and challenged all senators to take the pledge, while Missouri voters prepare to decide on Amendment 3, which would repeal the 2024 abortion amendment.

Missouri voters will decide on Amendment 3 in November to repeal a 2024 amendment that legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy and to prohibit gender transition surgeries for minors, aiming to restore previous pro-life protections in the state. In Idaho, Prop 1 seeks to remove current abortion bans by establishing a right to abortion up to viability with expanded exceptions, and pro-life advocates urge voters to reject this amendment to maintain the state's abortion-free status.

Senator Josh Hawley announced the signing of a new Declaration for Life at the Missouri Prayer Breakfast, calling on Congress members to support his legislation to ban the chemical abortion drug mifepristone. The Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act, co-sponsored by several Republican senators, aims to withdraw FDA approval of mifepristone and allow lawsuits against its manufacturers, with the FDA currently reviewing the drug and expected to announce a decision by the end of the year.
