Andrew Bailey resigned as Missouri attorney general and accepted a new position with the FBI. Catherine Hanaway will take office as Missouri attorney general on September 8, becoming the state's first female attorney general, and will serve out Bailey's term until 2028 before running for a full term. Hanaway identified herself as pro-life, said she is empathetic to those with infertility, and affirmed belief in the sanctity of human life. Hanaway attended an anti-abortion rally in 2015 and invoked comparisons to animal harm to urge public outrage. Bailey's federal hiring was linked to controversy over the handling of Epstein files and signaled tension with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
"I have a long history of being pro-life," Hanaway told reporters Tuesday, after Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe announced her as the state's new attorney general. She asserted that while she's " empathetic" to people struggling with infertility, she "believe[s] in the sanctity of human life." (Rich words coming from the party whose policies have driven the state's bottom-ranking maternal/infant mortality rates into obscurity.)
"I want you to imagine, just for a moment, if the procedures described were being performed on puppies, America would be up in arms," she told the crowd. "It's time they were up in arms on behalf of the unborn." (Again, rich words coming from the party whose Head of Medicare and Medicaid likes to torture dogs. And also whose Homeland Security Secretary likes to shoot them.)
