Missouri’s anti-abortion advocates cheer as attorney general authorizes trigger ban
Jun 24, 2022 | By Sarah Fentem, Chad Davis in St. Louis Public Radio

“The decision is a discredit to the Supreme Court and to the history of law and order and precedent in the United States,” said Pamela Merritt, executive director of Medical Students for Choice. “I think the decision to overturn Roe…is an extreme overreach of judicial power, and ultimately, this overreach will backfire. But in the immediate aftermath, this decision helps no one, it will not decrease abortion, it simply will criminalize abortion.”
