Missouri lawmaker proposes registry of pregnant women at risk' for abortions
Briefly

A Missouri Republican lawmaker has introduced the Save MO Babies Act, proposing a registry for pregnant women deemed at risk for abortions, likened to an 'eHarmony for babies.' The legislation intends to reduce preventable abortions by facilitating matches between these women and prospective adoptive parents. The bill lacks a clear definition of what qualifies as 'at risk,' raising concerns over privacy and government oversight. This effort is part of broader anti-abortion initiatives aimed at increasing state control and tracking of abortion-related data.
The Save MO Babies Act is the latest in a series of anti-abortion efforts to expand government tracking of pregnant women and abortion patients.
That's what this database is. The bill does not define what puts someone at risk of abortion.
