MISSOURI RIGHT TO LIFE STATE POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (PAC)
OPPOSES INITIATIVE TO EXPAND MEDICAID IN MISSOURI
BECAUSE OF PRO-LIFE CONCERNS
(Please do not sign the petition to expand Medicaid in Missouri)
A proposal to place a Medicaid expansion program into the Missouri Constitution is contained in Initiative no. 2020-063 (as numbered by the Secretary of State). Proponents are seeking signatures from voters to put it on the ballot in the fall. The proposal ignores the growing danger that the Hyde Amendment will be terminated in the near future, leaving unborn children completely exposed to governmental funding of abortions if their mothers are covered by Medicaid. The proposal also means greatly expanding current Medicaid funding of abortions of newly-formed human beings by means of prescriptions of the so-called "morning after" pills.
For pro-life reasons, pro-lifers find Initiative 2020-063 unacceptable. Abortions are not health care, and Missouri should not expand a program that will pay for more of them.
