FULL TITLE: Missouri Senate green-lights ANOTHER strict abortion bill as lawmakers follow Alabama's near-total ban with cutoff at eight weeks of pregnancy

Missouri's Republican-led Senate has passed a wide-ranging bill to ban abortions at eight weeks of pregnancy, acting only hours after Alabama's governor signed a near-total abortion ban into law.

The Missouri bill needs another vote of approval in the GOP-led House before it can go to Republican Gov. Mike Parson, who voiced support for an earlier version Wednesday.

It includes exceptions for medical emergencies, but not for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. Doctors would face five to 15 years in prison for violating the eight-week cutoff. Women who receive abortions wouldn't be prosecuted.

Republican Senate handler Sen. Andrew Koenig described it on Thursday as 'one of the strongest' abortion bills yet passed in the U.S.

Missouri U.S. Senator Josh Hawley, a conservative who replaced liberal Claire McCaskill this year, said Thursday on 'Fox & Friends' that the wave of abortion bills is a backlash against more and more permissive laws that have gone over the edge.

'It’s a direct response … to the extremism we’ve seen in places like New York and Virginia,' Hawley said.

'It's just incredible the extremism that we're seeing. And I think you're seeing these states responding.'

'Democrat politicians are actually advocating abortion in the final weeks of pregnancy,' Hawley said. 'These are policies … that only a few countries in the world – like Iran, like China – allow. We’ve got to stop this kind of extremism.'

Hawley said he believes Roe v. Wade was 'wrongly decided,' and that individual states should be free to make their own reproductive rights laws.
