Crystal Quade on Abortion

Stand with women for right to make own healthcare decisions

Opposed "Missouri Stands for the Unborn Act"

Summary by TrackBill.com: An abortion shall not be performed upon a woman at 8, 14 and 20 weeks gestational age or later, except in cases of medical emergency.

In Support (Vox.com):The 8-week ban is in clear conflict with Roe v. Wade, and could be challenged in court. The architects of the Missouri law came up with a "ladder structure", which they call "a first of its kind." If the 8-week ban falls, the 14-week ban would take effect, and so on.

Opposition by Auditor Galloway: HB126 bans abortions even in the case of rape, incest or human trafficking. [Hence] Gov. Parson wants rapists in Missouri to have more power over their victims. A survivor of rape must accept that her attacker could have parental rights.

Legislative outcome: Passed Senate 24-10-0 on 5/15/19; Passed House 108-46-1 on 5/17; State Rep. Crystal Quade voted NO; Signed by Gov. Parson on 5/24.
