Within minutes of the end of Roe, Missouri's Attorney General put the most extreme abortion ban in the country into effect. Even Donald Trump disagreed with it.
This November, the People will put Reproductive Freedom into law. We need an Attorney General who will enforce it.
Missouri's abortion ban forces 12-year-old rape victims to carry their pregnancies to term.
Our Attorney General won't commit to protecting access to IVF.
We had a legislator propose having law enforcement officers interrogate couples visiting Missouri about their sex lives.
Missouri has seen women suffer horrible consequences. I spoke with a doctor working at a rural hospital that lost two patients because of complications in pregnancy and the restrictions placed on treatment by our extreme abortion laws. Doctors wonder how long they have to wait before intervening, how close to death a woman has to be. Our extreme abortion ban is dangerous.
When we pass Reproductive Freedom, Missouri's Attorney General will be in charge of protecting our rights. We cannot afford to have Andrew Bailey be that Attorney General. He will do what he's always done: Lie to courts, refuse to follow the law, and deny the will of the People.
Missouri, we have a chance to elect an Attorney General who supports small government, who wants to keep politicians out of your health care decisions, who believes that folks in Jefferson City should mind their own damn business.
In November, vote for Reproductive Freedom.
And vote for an Attorney General who will make sure we actually have it.
