Missouri attorney general joins 17 other states in supporting Florida abortion bill

https://www.yahoo.com/news/missouri-attorney-general-joins-17-221902791.html


Missouri's Attorney General Andrew Bailey is one of 18 attorneys general who have voiced official support for a 2022 Florida bill that would prohibit abortions after 15 weeks of gestation, with exceptions for life, health, and fetal abnormality.

The bill is being challenged in Florida's Supreme Court by Planned Parenthood of Southwest and Central Florida.

"I want to enforce the laws as written and protect unborn children from this blatant attack on state sovereignty," Bailey said in a press release. "The people’s elected representatives have spoken on the issue of abortion, and my office will use every tool at its disposal to uphold the rights of state legislatures to defend the unborn.”

Which other attorneys general signed the brief?

The amicus brief is signed by attorneys general for the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia.
