HB 1112 -- Alternatives to Abortion Services

Sponsor:  Harris (110)

This bill establishes the Missouri Alternatives to Abortion
Services Program and the Missouri Alternatives to Abortion Public
Awareness Program to provide services or counseling to pregnant
women and assistance to women in caring for their children or
placing them up for adoption.  Counseling and services are
available to a woman during her pregnancy and for one year after
the birth of her child.

The department or departments to which the programs are assigned
are required to develop an advertising campaign publicizing
alternatives to abortion and to prioritize federal, public, and
private moneys so that they are used first to fund these
programs.  These programs and their funds will not be used to
perform, induce, or assist in abortions.
