HB 111 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the rights of unborn children

HB 111 declares that human life begins at conception and grants unborn children legal rights to life, health, and well-being comparable to other persons under state law. It requires state laws to be interpreted as recognizing these rights for unborn children at every stage of development, from conception until birth, unless overridden by federal law or specific state statutes. The bill explicitly states it does not create legal liability against women for not following prenatal care guidelines. This legislation directly affects legal interpretations of rights for unborn children and would require state statutes to align with these provisions.
