Legal abortion came to an end in Missouri on Friday with the activation of the state's "trigger law," banning the procedure minutes after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned its federal constitutionality.
The high court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization allows states to impose their own laws on abortion, overturning the 1973 decision Roe v. Wade that established it as legal under the U.S. Constitution. A 2019 law passed by Missouri's Republican legislature says "no abortion shall be performed or induced upon a woman, except in cases of medical emergency," taking effect after the Supreme Court "has overruled, in whole or in part, Roe v. Wade."
Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican, signed an opinion Friday morning activating the trigger law.

So, red flag those seeking abortions? Attempted murder? Sorta like when a pregnant person(see what I did there) is killed and the fetus is also termintated, the perp is charged with two murders. Right? Gonna be a hot time this weekend eh?

I was about to point that out. Abortion in America will continue. They did not declare abortion unconstitutional.
The libtard states will pass the most hideous laws imaginable in short order.

California is firmly in Satan’s grip. And interstate travel hasn’t been banned. Yet. And it won’t be now since it will be the only way some women can get an abortion.

Attorney General Eric Schmitt, a Republican, signed an opinion Friday morning activating the trigger law.
Is there something in this particular law that requires him to trigger it with an opinion? Or is that done with all Missouri laws?
Praise God for this decision. Two days in a row where the godly roots of this nation have been restored.
