Abortion bills introduced ahead of Missouri legislative session include murder charges for mothers
At least nine bills have been prefiled ahead of the 2024 legislative session suggesting changes to Missouri's abortion laws, including one that would make mothers who get abortions criminal homicide subjects.
The bill text says it protects the right to life by "protecting the lives of unborn persons with the same criminal and civil laws protecting the lives of born persons by repealing provisions that permit willful prenatal homicide or assault."
First-degree murder is the most serious homicide charge. It denotes a premeditated murder. In Missouri, the state can pursue capital punishment the death penalty against someone with a first-degree murder charge.
