Quote:The bill itself, which would put the legality of abortion back on the ballot, is written to be as misleading as possible. For example, it contains a ballot summary that doesn’t tell voters that it would put the ban back in effect. It instead asks voters if they want to protect treatment for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies.
But the hearing was amazing for the way Republican legislators openly infantilized and lied about Missouri voters, women and doctors.
