MO Legislative recap

As I share on the show, I’m so grateful for people like Miss A and the many others who have given hours and hours of time and energy to listen/watch and take notes of the session. The rate of bills being heard and passed this session made it impossible to keep track of everything. Please make sure to contact the Governors office (573-751-3222) and ask him to VETO SB79. We discuss this on the show but as a recap: this bill began as 3 pages and one section on “healthcare benefits for certain organizations” but changed to 31 pages and eight sections, then retitled “healthcare”. Unconstitutional?? It transforms a choice for medical treatment into a legal obligation if a pregnant woman tests positive for STI’s. While the language does say the woman has the option to take the test, it is very dangerous to assume that a woman who takes the test will be told and/or will know that if she does test positive she will then be mandated to receive treatment.I know when I was pregnant there were things that I missed because of hormones going crazy, sleepless nights, and the all too familiar baby brain! I guarantee you there are many woman who will go along with what their OB suggests because they haven’t had the time nor the brain power to do the research themselves and will then be blind-sided by this dangerous language of “shall”. How about the government just keeps their dirty paws off?!STOP MAKING MORE LAWS!!!! This is just part 1 of the recap. Once everything that has been passed is gone through, we will do another show to let you know what it means for you and our state.In the meantime, a few of the bills we discuss are linked below.SB79-Medical mandateSB28-Cotton transportSB22-Ballot languageSB2-Small government agencies financial statementsSB3-DOR fee officesHB567-Prop A “fix”As always, keep praying for our state. Pray for the current legislators and pray for the new ones God is raising up; that they will answer His call and be committed to serving Him and abiding in Truth!Thanks for reading Nadine@9’s Substack!
