Missouri lawmaker proposes registry of pregnant women ‘at risk’ for abortions

Summary

A Missouri Republican lawmaker proposed a bill to create a registry of pregnant women “at risk” of abortion and another for prospective adoptive parents.

The bill claims to reduce abortions by facilitating adoptions, though it lacks a clear definition of “at risk.”

Critics warn it could expand government tracking of pregnancies, echoing broader anti-abortion surveillance efforts.

Missouri remains a key battleground over abortion, with legal challenges to the state's near-total ban ongoing.
