Episode Details

Missouri just passed a sweeping new law that could send healthcare providers to prison—or even to death row—if they knowingly harm a baby born alive after an attempted abortion. While supporters frame it as a vital safeguard for rare but tragic cases, critics—including most Democrats—see it as politically motivated, potentially driving doctors out of the state. The bill’s passage comes amid a heated November ballot measure that would ban most abortions, with narrow exceptions. Though some controversial provisions were stripped—like allowing lawsuits against anyone involved in illegal abortions—the law still carries extreme penalties, sparking debate over whether it’s truly about protecting life or playing politics.
