Missouri Lifeline 5/6/16
Happy Mother's Day!  
We thank you Lord for making us your adopted sons and daughters and for calling us to care for each other as brothers and sisters. Today, we thank all mothers.

We pray for all mothers who have opened their hearts to the gift of life, both born and adopted; all who never knew their biological mother, but thank her for the gift of life; all who have experienced the wonder of an adopted mother's love; all who are suffering from a past abortion; all who are grieving the loss of a child; all who are grieving the loss of their mother.

Lord, please help all to once again hold sacred human life. Help us to understand your love for us and this wonderful gift of life! Amen.
Legislative Update 

May 6, 2016 --  CALL TO ACTION: 
 
  
If you have already called your Senator regarding HB 2069, please call him/her again during this last week of the legislative session.

Please ask your family and friends to call, too! 

What Will HB 2069 Accomplish?
  • Requires the accounting of and reporting of all body parts of the aborted baby.
  • Prohibits donation of baby organs or tissue after an abortion.
  • Imposes penalties for sale of baby body parts of the aborted baby.
  • Requires all remains of an aborted baby to be submitted to a board certified pathologist.
  • Requires a detailed tissue report on every abortion.
  • Requires disclosure of the entity conducting the exam of the remains of an aborted baby.
  • Requires tracking of the baby's remains from abortion facility to pathology lab to disposition location.
  • Mandates that the Department of Health receive report copies which are available to the public.
  • Noncompliance requires an unscheduled inspection of the abortion facility.
  • Un-remedied deficiencies result in a suspended license (1 year minimum).
  • The Health Department will make annual report of deficiencies to the General Assembly.
  • Contains whistleblower protections for people who work in the abortion clinic, the pathology lab, or the research facility.

Take Note: Anything that impedes the financial incentive for the abortion industry decreases the number of abortions. Please call your State Senator and ask him/her to pass HB 2069.

Session ends on Friday, May 13 at 6:00 p.m.  So time is critical!
