Missouri Lifeline

Happy 4th of July!

Our nation was founded on the principle that every human being is endowed by their Creator with the right to "LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

This Independence Day we celebrate the wisdom of our founders when they signed their names and pledged their sacred honor to these words in the preamble to the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, and we renew our commitment to restoring this sacred right to life of all Americans, born and unborn.

Action Alert - Urge Passage of HCS SB 5!

As we gather with friends and family this weekend to celebrate the birth of freedom and our great country, let us not forget the plight of unborn children.

On June 15 the Missouri House improved and passed Senate Bill 5. The House Committee Substitute for Senate Substitute for Senate Bill 5 not only expands regulations on abortion in multiple statutes, it also improves the tracking of baby body parts from abortion to help prevent the selling and buying of these precious babies for research.

In addition, the House bill language expands the powers of the Attorney General and protects our Pregnancy Resource Centers and faith communities in St. Louis and across the State of Missouri from being forced to participate in abortion.

Please call your state senator today and ask them to pass HCS SB 5.
This bill is one of the strongest bills to be considered by the legislature for many years!

HCS SB5 is also supported by the Missouri Catholic Conference.

MRL at the 2017 National Right to Life Convention

When you know you're going to see Ben Shapiro and David Daleiden speak, your expectations are pretty high. They both exceeded those expectations! They were fabulous!

But when you see you're also going to see the Wisconsin Lt. Governor and Attorney General speak, you figure on canned political speeches. They were anything but.

Their talks were very personal, ardently Pro-Life and truly inspiring! And that was just our first morning!

Wish you were here!
