Missouri's abortion ban includes only one exception for cases of medical emergency, which the state defines as “serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.” But medical experts say the law lacks nuance.
Dr. Jeannie Kelly, a Washington University OB-GYN, is concerned for pregnant patients in Missouri.
After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Missouri became one of the first states to ban most abortions. There’s an exception in cases of medical emergency, which the state defines as “serious risk of substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.”
Kelly told St. Louis on the Air that the law’s definition lacks nuance.

Exactly. The "life of the person" do called exemption is bs when doctors are spending hours with lawyers to make sure they can't get sued while the pregnant person is in sepsis.
Or how about the 10 year old in Ohio raped by a family member who has to go to another state because she was 6 weeks 3 days.

The Long History of the Anti-Abortion Movement’s Links to White Supremacists
Racism and xenophobia have been woven into the anti-abortion movement for decades, despite the careful curation of its public image.
FEBRUARY 3, 2020
“The anti-abortion movement in the United States has long been complicit with white supremacy. In recent decades, the movement mainstream has been careful to protect its public image by distancing itself from overt white nationalists in its ranks. Last year, anti-abortion leader Kristen Hatten was ousted from her position as vice president of the anti-choice group New Wave Feminists after identifying as an “ethnonationalist” and sharing white supremacist alt-right content. In 2018, when neo-Nazis from the Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP) sought to join the local March for Life rally organized by Tennessee Right to Life, the anti-abortion organization rejected TWP’s involvement. (The organization’s statement, however, engaged in the same false equivalency between left and right that Trump used in the wake of fatal white supremacist violence at Charlottesville. “Our organization’s march has a single agenda to support the rights of mothers and the unborn, and we don’t agree with the violent agenda of white supremacists or Antifa,” the group wrote on its Facebook page.)”
“As sociologists Nicola Beisel and Tamara Kay wrote with regards to the criminalization of abortion in the late 19th century, “While laws regulating abortion would ultimately affect all women, physicians argued that middle-class, Anglo-Saxon married women were those obtaining abortions, and that their use of abortion to curtail childbearing threatened the Anglo-Saxon race.”

2.) ENDING THE VIOLENCE: Applying the Ku Klux Klan Act, RICO, and FACE to the Abortion Controversy
“In March of 1993, David Gunn, a doctor who provided abortion servic- es in Pensacola, Florida, was shot and killed.' The gunman was a member of Operation Rescue.2 Recently, doctors who legally perform abortions have felt so threatened that they hire body guards to protect them and to help them gain access to their places of work.' Even these drastic measures are some- times futile.
In July of 1994, Dr. John Britton and his volunteer body guard, James Barrett, were both shot and killed4 outside of an abortion clinic.' Once again, the gunman was a member of Operation Rescue.6 From 1977 to April
1993, more than 1,000 acts of violence against abortion providers were reported in the United States.'
These acts included at least 36 bombings, 81 arsons, 131 death threats, 84 assaults, two kidnappings, one murder, and 327 clinic invasions! In addition, over 6,000 clinic blockades and other disrup- tions have been reported since 1977.”

Ever heard of Margaret Sanger and her plan to eliminate the black race?? Here's a hint, Planned Parenthood was established based on her doctrine.

Remove statues of Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood founder tied to eugenics and racism
How a woman who advocated for the selective breeding of her fellow citizens came to be memorialized with those who built a country is hard to understand.

“Sanger and Eugenics :
Eugenics is the theory that society can be improved through planned breeding for “desirable traits”
like intelligence and industriousness. In the early 20th century eugenic ideas were popular among highly educated, privileged, and mostly white Americans. Margaret Sanger pronounced her belief in and alignment with the eugenics movement in her writings, especially in the scientific journal Birth Control Review. At times, Sanger tried to argue for a eugenics that was not applied based on race or religion (Katz, 1995, 47). But in a society built on
the belief of white supremacy, physical and mental fitness are always judged based on race. Eugenics, therefore, is inherently racist.”

THE “BROWNING” OF AMERICA: ANTI-ABORTION EFFORTS ARE FUNDAMENTALLY ABOUT A SHORTAGE OF WHITE BABIES
Posted May 11, 2022 | Thom Hartmann
“The abortion battle is not just about religion. We are also watching the last ages of White Supremacy, and it is scaring the hell out of White people who have bought into the racist belief that “others” are fundamentally different and inferior.
This firestorm around abortion is another dimension of the White freak-out about the browning of America that stretches from the days of slavery through 19th century “scientific racism” to Charles Murray’s book The Bell Curve:,America is no longer all-White or all-under-White-control.”

Strange that the people most concerned about terminating a thing in a medical procedure aren't the least bit concerned about terminating a living person with an assault weapon.

Dominionism is the theocratic idea that regardless of theological camp, means, or timetable, God has called conservative Christians to exercise dominion over society by taking control of political and culturalinstitutions.
