Missouri Bill Would Allow Lawsuits for Helping With Out-of-State Abortions – By Justin Klawans (Newsweek) / March 8, 2022
A Missouri state lawmaker has proposed a bill that would allow private citizens to be sued for aiding women who get out-of-state abortions.
Republican Representative Mary Elizabeth Coleman introduced the bill in the Missouri House on Tuesday. If it makes its way through the legislative process, the measure, which is currently awaiting debate in the House, would allow any private citizen in Missouri to sue someone who assisted a fellow Missourian in obtaining an abortion in another state.
While Missouri does currently allow legal abortions, they must be performed before the 22-week mark of pregnancy, and there is only one remaining abortion clinic in the state.
