HB 578 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Requires organizations that provide pregnancy-related services to provide medically accurate information regarding reproductive health options in order to receive state funding

HB 578 requires state-funded organizations providing pregnancy-related services (like family planning, abortion care, prenatal care, or postpartum support) to share medically accurate and unbiased information about all reproductive health options, including birth control, pregnancy, adoption, and labor. "Medically accurate" is defined as information verified by scientific research, recognized by major medical groups (like the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists or CDC), or aligned with national medical guidelines. Organizations must provide this unbiased information to receive state funding, covering all relevant options without favoring specific choices. The bill applies broadly to any entity receiving state funds for pregnancy-related care or counseling.
