HB2634 specifies that no public funds will be expended to any abortion facility, or affiliate thereof, including Medicaid providers.
The House failed to pass the emergency clause for HB2634 on April 24, 2024, by a vote of 106 to 50 (two-thirds vote required). We have assigned pluses for the ayes because the care of human life—not its destruction—is the greatest responsibility of government. No person has a right to kill a preborn child using the pretext of “reproductive health services,” let alone tax their neighbor to pay for it. Missouri ought to not only forbid abortion entirely, upholding the sanctity of life for every person. The right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and “unalienable” right protected by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
