Governor Parson's Statement Regarding Federal Ruling on HB 126

(JEFFERSON CITY, MO) ? Today, Governor Mike Parson issued the following statement regarding a federal court ruling on HB 126:

?We sent a strong message that Missouri stands for life, protection of women?s health, and advocates for the unborn with the passage and signing of HB 126. We are encouraged that today?s court ruling upheld the anti-discrimination provisions of the law, and we look forward to litigating the remaining issues. As Governor, I am honored to lead a state that is committed to standing up for those without a voice and will continue to fight for the unborn. HB 126 also carried several other provisions that will go into effect tomorrow that will increase women?s health. Most notably, it will modify the definition of pregnancy resource centers, leading to greater access and safety for women.?
