The "Show Me State" Shows Off Efforts to Ban Abortion In and Outside of Missouri

In an effort to restrict abortion access, similar to the Texas abortion ban, Missouri Representative Elizabeth Coleman has introduced a bill that would allow citizens to sue anyone helping Missouri residents get an abortion in or outside of the state. The bill would also prevent access to medicated abortions.

We speak with Rachel Rebouché, Interim Dean of Temple University Beasley School of Law and the James E. Beasley Professor of Law, about the constitutionality of this bill and what states and the federal government could do to protect reproductive rights.
