[Listen] Rep. Coleman Wants To Cut Some Of “The Obnoxious” Taxes
Mike Fergeson invites Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman to talk taxes after Governor Parson calls for a special session that would focus on tax cuts in Missouri. The possible special session in the Missouri Legislature will most likely be happening in September of this year after the primary races. But, Missouri has a surplus of cash in its coffers, and we need to make a real attempt to lower taxes for the people of Missouri.

The Facts About Missouri’s Trigger Law After Abortion Ban
By The 100 PAC
Missouri’s trigger law post the Roe v Wade roll back has lead to fake news and false accusations. Here are a couple talking points to address three main concerns based off of the Public Health and Welfares definition of “Abortion”, Definition 188.017: “Abortion (a) The act of using or prescribing any instrument, device, medicine, drug, or any other means or substance with the intent to destroy the life of an embryo or fetus in his or her mother’s womb; or (b) The intentional termination of the pregnancy of a mother by using or prescribing any instrument, device, medicine, drug, or other means or substance with an intention other than to increase the probability of a live birth or to remove a dead unborn child.”
First, Missouri's trigger law and the Dobbs’s decision did not change the definition of abortion (see rsmo 188.015) It just changed how abortion is regulated.
In the case of criminalizing women who cross the state line to get an abortion in a legal state: The definition excludes women on whom abortion is performed and does not state that it is a crime of “traveling to get an abortion. Municipalities like Kansas City, St. Louis County, and St. Louis City have announced efforts to use taxpayer dollars to fund abortion. In response, on July 1st, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt released the following statement on efforts to authorize taxpayer dollars to fund travel to other states to obtain abortions: “Using hard-earned taxpayer dollars, whether it be ARPA funds or other forms of revenue, to fund abortions is plainly illegal under Missouri law. St. Louis City and County, and Kansas City, and any others who attempt to authorize taxpayer-funded abortions will be met with a lawsuit from the Missouri Attorney General’s Office.” As RSMo. 188.205 states, “It shall be unlawful for any public funds to be expended for the purpose of performing or assisting an abortion, not necessary to save the life of the mother, or for the purpose of encouraging or counseling a woman to have an abortion not necessary to save her life.”
In the case of the accusation of arresting and criminalizing women who take matters into their own hands found in this Kansas City article, This is clearly a wrong interpretation of Missouri law. There is no way that legally, the provision or use of "emergency" contraception is an abortion as defined in section 188.015.
On Miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, choose the life of the mother or the child: The definition above of an abortion does not include language about ectopic pregnancies or miscarriage care. Women are never liable for obtaining an abortion for the abortion or conspiracy to commit an abortion. The exception in regards to concern for the life of the mother has been used for the past two years by our hospitals without incident. Earlier in the week Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman tweeted a reminder that “Medical care for ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage is legal in all 50 states.”
Off Season Educational Resource: How Missouri’s Legislative Branch Works
By The Constitutional Coalition
For just a few minutes, let’s pretend that we are in fourth grade. We’ve learned about the regions and the people of the United States, researched population density, studied agriculture of the Midwest, looked at water usage, geography and history of Missouri and worked to understand the economy of our state. And now, after we have scrutinized our state’s government, we are planning a train trip to the Capitol to see the lawmakers in action! What a trip across the state that will be! Let’s see how much we remember from our studies in Mrs. Roberts’ fourth grade Social Studies class while we’re at the Capitol:
What is the Missouri General Assembly? Missouri’s General Assembly serves as the legislative branch of the Show-Me State’s government and is the primary lawmaking body of the state. Much like the U.S. Congress, its federal counterpart, the General Assembly is bicameral — made up of two separate chambers, the House and Senate.
