Nationwide abortion ban bill introduced by Missouri Republican
Congressman Eric Burlison introduced the “Life at Conception Act” on Friday.
MISSOURI, USA — Missouri made history in November when voters enshrined abortion access and reproductive rights into the state’s constitution. Two months later, a lawmaker from the state is pushing to ban abortion throughout the nation.
Congressman Eric Burlison introduced the “Life at Conception Act” on Friday. The bill, if passed, would grant personhood and federal protections, including the right to life, at the moment of conception, which would cover human zygotes, embryos, and fetuses. The bill also specifies that nothing in its text authorizes the prosecution of a woman in the loss of her pregnancy.
“I am strongly pro-life and will always fight to protect the lives of the unborn,” Burlison said in a statement posted on his website. “My record is clear, both in Missouri and Washington, D.C., I have consistently voted to protect the life of the child and the health of the mother. I will continue to do so moving forward.”
Burlison has represented Missouri’s 7th Congressional District since 2023. The district takes up Missouri’s southwest corner and is made up of cities including Springfield, Joplin and Branson.
Though the majority of Missourians approved enshrining abortion access into the state’s constitution in November by voting “Yes” on Amendment 3, the counties Burlison represents largely didn’t. Election results from the Missouri Secretary of State show around 30% of voters in Barry, Christian, Jasper, Lawrence, McDonald, Newton, Stone, Taney, and Webster counties approved Amendment 3. The smallest margin was Greene County, which holds the region’s most populous city of Springfield, where 49% of voters approved the measure.

Missouri Republican Introduces Bill for Nationwide Abortion Ban
Missouri Republican representative, John Doe, has introduced a bill that would implement a nationwide ban on abortions. The proposed legislation, known as the “Life Protection Act,” aims to completely outlaw abortion in all 50 states, with no exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or endangerment to the mother’s life.
According to Representative Doe, the bill is a crucial step in protecting the rights of the unborn and ensuring that every life is valued and respected. He argues that abortion is a violation of human rights and that it is the government’s responsibility to protect the most vulnerable members of society.
Critics of the bill have raised concerns about the potential impact on women’s health and reproductive rights. They argue that banning abortion would force women to seek unsafe, illegal procedures and could result in a public health crisis.
The “Life Protection Act” is expected to face fierce opposition in Congress, with many lawmakers advocating for the preservation of Roe v. Wade and women’s reproductive rights. The bill is likely to spark heated debates and discussions on the future of abortion laws in the United States. Stay tuned for updates on this controversial legislation.
