HB 2758 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the regulation of abortion

HB 2758, known as the "Missouri Stands for the Unborn Act," repeals and replaces existing abortion-related laws to define an unborn child as a person from the moment of conception. The bill establishes specific legal definitions for terms like "abortion," "viability," and "medical emergency," while also mandating that physicians report instances of abortion for patients under eighteen who are victims of sexual abuse or incest. Additionally, the legislation includes findings asserting that human life begins at conception and that fetal heartbeats can be detected as early as six to eight weeks gestational age.
