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.

Why? It wasn't a problem pre-Obergfell. Gay marriage could be struck down all together. It depends on the case challenging it and the court's decision.
I am still waiting for a couple of butt buddies gets pregnant and has a child, not a case of the runs!!
I’m thinking there will be a fairly random spread of those that totally restrict, those that allow with restrictions and those that are wide open.
I don’t see a drive from Oklahoma to Illinois to be that long.
Depends on where you start in Oklahoma and where you stop in Illinois. Distance from Altus, OK to Waukegan, Il is 960 miles and about 15 hours. Of course, it depends on where the abortion clinic is.
Also don't forget that Oklahoma is crawling with Indian reservations. State laws don't apply there. I could see them jump on this as a money maker, as many did with casino gambling, and open abortion clinics on reservation land.
Any state ruled by DeomcRats is firmly in Satan’s grip.
Tennessee also has an abortion ban trigger law.
For the moment Kansas will be the default place in that part of the world because of their state Supreme Court. But it is a long drive from many parts of Texas to other parts of Texas—and depending on where you are in Oklahoma, Illinois isn’t that close.
The foeces of evil are gathering.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the enemy.
May God rebuke them, we humbly pray, and by the power of the Almighty, may you, Holy Michael, send into hell Satan and all the evil spirits prowling about the world seeking the ruination of souls.
Amen.
“forces of evil”....our battle is not with mankind, but with Dominions and Powers.
Evil is abroad in our cities tonight.
Lord, bless and protect all law enforcement authorities in every place where the battle is being waged.
Protect the innocent. Keep women and children safe in their homes.
Let us keep vigil for these intentions.
Amen.
Prottect our good SCOTUS judges and their families.
The Dobbs (abortion) case: The US Supreme Court decision is constitutionally sound. The Court has jurisdiction over the unconstitutional Court decision in Roe v. Wade and finally overturned it. Roe v. Wade was unconstitutional because 1) the feds have no constitutional authority regarding abortions and 2) the feds have no jurisdiction over state abortion laws.
The Bruen (gun) case: The US Supreme Court decision is constitutionally unsound because the Court has no jurisdiction over NY State gun laws. This appears to be a victory for our Free Constitutional Republic, but it in not because it strengthens more unconstitutional federal power over the states. The greatest threat to our lives and wellbeing is the unconstitutionally unlimited and totalitarian power of the federal government.
MO killed off abortion clinics, so Planned Parenthood built a new kill factory on the Illinois side of the river.
Husker football....
Those were good days, back then
It's just been announced that a filthy bull dyke will be the Rat Party's candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in November.In addition...both the state's House of Representatives *and* Senate are 95% Rat. So it's not difficult to imagine a law making the abortion of white,heterosexual males *mandatory*!
“The Bruen (gun) case: The US Supreme Court decision is constitutionally unsound because the Court has no jurisdiction over NY State gun laws.”
Now, you could make an argument that SCOTUS has no Constitutional basis for overturning any law passed by Congress or a state legislature. You won’t find that power anywhere in Article III, but SCOTUS has been doing it for over 200 years.
With a few exceptions, the Constitution is pointed exclusively at the feds.
The Constitution CREATED the Federal Government of the United States of America and through the states and the people DELEGATED certain LIMITED and ENUMERATED powers to the feds.
The Constitution is the ONLY source of federal power. If it’s not in the Constitution, it is NOT a federal power.
The Constitution did NOT create the states. If it is not in the Constitution it IS a state power.
The 9A and 10A explain all this.
Then is it your contention that the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force, NASA, the air traffic control system, and the VA are all unconstitutional organizations since there is nothing in the Constitution explicitly authorizing them?
The Constitution did NOT create the states. If it is not in the Constitution it IS a state power.
But the states did give up some part of their sovereignty to the national government. Whether for good or ill, the Bill of Rights have been ‘incorporated’ to cover state governments. It took a while for the 2nd Amendment to get there, but it now looks to be fully incorporated as well. Perhaps the 14th Amendment is the justification for it.
The idea that New York, California, New Jersey, Maryland can no longer deprive their citizens guaranteed rights, is a good thing.
What argument can you make for the counterfeit and heretical doctrine of incorporation that gives the feds sweeping new powers without a peep from the ratifiers of the 14A? Also, incorporation was refuted by “the Slaughterhouse Cases” few years after the 14A was ratified.
The 14A was treated by the ratifiers for what it is or should have been: a Post-Civil-War Reconstruction Amendment to make blacks full citizens and NOTHING MORE.
Nothing in the Constitution gives the feds the right to enforce the first ten amendments upon the states. The first ten amendments are pointed directly at the feds and nowhere else.
This is a huge power grab by the Totalitarian Left via the counterfeit and debunked “Incorporation Doctrine”. Judge Bork, the recognized leading constitutional scholar of his time who would have been maybe the best Supreme Justice ever, deals with this subject in his very worthwhile book, “The Tempting of America.”
Forget about the counterfeit “Incorporation Doctrine”. It has been another sneaky Leftist way of unconstitutionally expanding federal power.
Common DoodleDawg. What are you a Leftist apologist?
The Constitution authorizes the military and whatever is “necessary and proper” to execute that authorization. The main reason for the Constitution was to protect America from her foreign enemies.
Dang man, quit splitting hairs and go after the really big unconstitutional stuff like the HHS ($1 trillion budget) and almost all of the unconstitutional Forth Branch “Administrative State” agencies and bureaucracies that do more harm than good and bleed out America’s wealth and strength.
