Heartless Missouri bill lets employers fire women for using birth control


By Alison R. Parker | June 24, 2017

The Missouri House is aiming to drastically restrict reproductive rights, including enshrining into law discrimination against people who use contraceptives or have had an abortion.
Planned Parenthood

Reproductive rights in Missouri are set to take a huge leap backward, if the conservative House in that state has its way.

During a special session called by Republican Gov. Eric Greitens, the House passed a stunningly regressive bill that would allow employers and landlords to discriminate against women who have used birth control, had an abortion, or — in a bizarre catch-22 — are pregnant.

The bill actually seeks to undo an existing ordinance in the city of St. Louis that banned such discrimination.

It also includes draconian new regulations on abortion clinics, such as “banning abortion clinic staffers from requesting that ambulances responding to medical emergencies at their facilities avoid using sirens or flashing lights” — something clinics may do to avoid attracting attention from anti-abortion extremists who would use such a sight to push falsified, gratuitous stories that further their agenda.

The bill is a harsher version of one the Missouri Senate passed days prior, which Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri called out for its “medically unnecessary restrictions” on abortion...........................

1. So Republican Gov. Eric Greitens is the one to address. He is anti-woman!

How can we get him out of office?

[Ilsa]

2. Discrimination for preventing pregnancy. Or not preventing it.

This is discrimination against women on religious grounds. Looking forward to the first court case.

3. Missouri will lead the way repressive conservatism.

This is the same State that passed legislation that banned BATF from the State of Missouri only to have it vetoed by the Democratic Governor. Now with a delusional Republican Navy Seal veteran scamming Governor Greitens anything is possible.
