See you in Jefferson City on March 10 at the “Show Me Life Action Day”! NOTE REGARDING MISSOURI RIGHT TO LIFE PAC OPPOSITION TO MEDICAID EXPANSION: As you read the following statement regarding Missouri Right to Life State PAC opposition to Medicaid Expansion, remember, the pro-abortion supporters of Medicaid Expansion are asking you to put Medicaid Expansion into the Missouri Constitution without taking into account the very real risk that Congress will abandon the pro-life protections of the annual ‘Hyde Amendment.’ The Hyde Amendment has to be enacted every year or it dies. It is under attack in election campaigns all over the country. The proponents of expansion are counting on a future when those who support abortion are in control of Congress and will then refuse to pass the ‘Hyde Amendment’. Missouri should not greatly expand the pool of women who will be eligible for government-funded abortions in view of the risk that the Hyde Amendment may not survive to protect their unborn children. A proposal to place a Medicaid expansion program into the Missouri Constitution is contained in Initiative no. 2020-063 (as numbered by the Secretary of State). Proponents are seeking signatures from voters to put it on the ballot in the fall. The proposal ignores the growing danger that the Hyde Amendment will be terminated in the near future, leaving unborn children completely exposed to governmental funding of abortions if their mothers are covered by Medicaid. The proposal also means greatly expanding current Medicaid funding of abortions of newly-formed human beings by means of prescriptions of the so-called "morning after" pills. For pro-life reasons, pro-lifers find Initiative 2020-063 unacceptable. Abortions are not health care, and Missouri should not expand a program that will pay for more of them.
