A restrictive abortion bill prohibiting abortions after eight weeks of pregnancy is headed to Missouri Gov. Mike Parson's desk after a 110-44 House vote. Follow live updates:
Republican Rep. Barry Hovis, a former law enforcement officer, said many of the rape cases he has seen are"consensual rapes" — a phrase that drew ire from at least one other member.
Dogan explained that he had initially supported the bill, but had a change of heart when it failed to include exceptions for rape and incest.Dogan said his constituents think the bill is"going too far.""Nationally, we've seen a lot of uproar from people who are pro-life who would vote for more restrictions on abortion, but can't go there. They can't tolerate not saying rape and incest.
"There is not a single thing in this world that a male can experience that would come close to the indignity of being legally forced to carry your rapist’s baby," he said."If you can force an 11-year-old girl to carry her father’s baby to term — one that could very well harm her not just physically but mentally — that is not pro-life. You can’t say you’re pro-life when you are prepared to have a child risk her life to give birth to a rapist’s baby. That’s not pro-life.
"Abortion is the ultimate in might makes right. It is saying that if I don’t have the ability to kill my child that I, as a woman, can not obtain whatever dreams and believe I may have," she said."It’s saying that my economic opportunities will be limited if I do not pay that price with the blood of my child.
