A Missouri Republican on Wednesday proposed constitutional amendments that would allow exceptions to the state’s near-total abortion ban in cases of rape, incest and fatal abnormalities.
Suburban St. Louis resident Jamie Corley, 36, proposed the constitutional amendments to allow those exceptions up until viability, which typically is around 24 weeks. The exception for rape would only apply if the assault is reported to a crisis hotline.
Another proposal Corley filed would allow abortions for any reason up to 12 weeks into pregnancy.
All of her proposals would shield those seeking abortions and health care providers from criminal prosecution and civil penalties.
Maybe they’re scared of demographic trends, and this is how they increase the population of white babies.
