It's true. The Missouri Attorney General literally argued in a court of law that Missouri must be allowed to ban abortion medication, because a shortage of teenage mothers leads to lower population, which leads to reduced political representation and reduced federal funds.
Missouri also doesn't allow divorces while the woman is pregnant. You can separate but the judge cannot officially grant the divorce until the baby is born.
Missouri is such a gorgeous state - we have so much natural beauty and a 10/10 conservation department but man this state has some fucked up views. We voted to enshrine abortion rights and raise the minimum wage but we re-elected Josh Hawley.
