Summary
A Missouri Republican lawmaker proposed a bill to create a registry of pregnant women “at risk” of abortion and another for prospective adoptive parents.
The bill claims to reduce abortions by facilitating adoptions, though it lacks a clear definition of “at risk.”
Critics warn it could expand government tracking of pregnancies, echoing broader anti-abortion surveillance efforts.
Missouri remains a key battleground over abortion, with legal challenges to the state’s near-total ban ongoing.
God kills babies all the time, so all pregnant people would have to go on the list. Then all the less desired parents would be coerced into adoption by Christian white people to churn out more bigots and Republicans. As is tradition.
