A Republican lawmaker in Missouri wants to charge individuals who provide someone with abortion medication for ectopic pregnancies with a class A felony.
for individuals who help others access abortion procedures. In a debate on his bill, the Republican lawmaker said that he believes the penalties laid out in his proposal were not “strict enough.” When asked if he backed the death penalty for those providing abortion drugs, Seitz answered, “we’ll have to look at that in other legislation.”
There is currently a slew of anti-abortion measures being considered by the state’s Republican-controlled legislature —that would allow individuals to sue others who help facilitate abortions for Missouri residents, even if those abortions take place out of state. Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman’s proposal would let people sue everyone from the doctor to the staffer scheduling the appointment.
Olivia Cappello, the press officer for state media campaigns at Planned Parenthood, has described Coleman’s proposal as “wild” and “bonkers.”
