JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KTVI) — Legislation introduced in Missouri would create a list of “at risk” pregnant women in the state in order to “reduce the number of preventable abortions.”

House Bill 807, nicknamed the “Save MO Babies Act,” was proposed by Republican state Rep. Phil Amato.

The bill summary states that, if passed, Missouri would create a registry of every expecting mother in the state “who is at risk for seeking an abortion” starting July 1, 2026. The list would be created through the Maternal and Child Services division of the Department of Social Services, but the measure did not specify how the “at risk” would be identified./

A response, evaluation and legal team comprised of 10 members would be appointed between the director of the Department of Social Services, Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe (R) and the state Supreme Court.

2. So I guess they ll be keeping the Department of Social Services

How about that. I thought they didn't believe in any social services. Maybe they should just call it the Department of Social Control. That would sound better to them.

3. To do this, OB/GYNs would be required to report their pregnant patients.

And to get close to 100% of pregnant women to go to the doctors to diagnose pregnancy, over-the-counter pregnancy kits would be eliminated.
