HB 2313 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Prohibits the use of fetal organs or tissue resulting from elective abortions for medical, scientific, research, experimental, or therapeutic purposes or any other use

HB 2313 prohibits using fetal organs or tissue obtained from elective abortions for medical, research, therapeutic, or any other purpose. It bans offering money or incentives to women to conceive or abort specifically to harvest fetal tissue, though it allows payments for burial, medical exams, or pathological examinations of fetal remains. The bill directly affects medical researchers, hospitals, and clinics that might have used such tissue, applying only to patient-choice abortions - not medically necessary procedures. It does not restrict other uses of fetal tissue or impact abortion access generally.
