If passed by the General Assembly, the measure could go to voters as soon as this year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe proposed amendment would ban abortion except for in medical emergencies, when a fetus has abnormalities, or in cases of rape or incest, with rape or incest cases requiring a police report and subject to a 12-week limit. It would also prohibit public funding for abortions. What\u2019s more, it would ban providing surgeries, hormones or drugs to assist a child with a gender transition, procedures that are already illegal in Missouri.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5371\" src=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line.gif 500w, https:\/\/impeachreno.org\/politicalhat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/eag_line-300x22.gif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Center for Disease control is now <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/politics\/searches-for-abortion-on-cdc-website-prompt-suggestion-to-look-up-adoption\/ar-AA1yyoJY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suggesting adoption<\/a> when people search for abortion related information.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cUsers who search for abortion information on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s (CDC) website are now directed to try searching for the word \u2018adoption.\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe change comes less than a week after more than a dozen federal agency websites \u2014 including the CDC\u2019s \u2014 went offline.

But the lawmaking process was too far along for them to terminate the proposal on their own, so their request went before the full 400-member chamber on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAlthough the Republican-controlled House voted overwhelmingly to grant the withdrawal request, the New Hampshire Democratic Party used the vote as fodder for criticism, releasing a list of 12 Republicans who \u2018voted in favor of the 15-week abortion ban.\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cTechnically, nobody on that list voted Thursday in favor of approving HB 476 outright.
