How abortion access would vary without Roe v. Wade
JEFFERSON CITY
The Missouri Senate voted early Thursday to ban abortions eight weeks into pregnancy, even in cases of rape, incest or human trafficking, with criminal penalties for non-complying doctors that could send them to prison for up to 15 years.
The measure, passed 24-10 by the Republican supermajority after day-and-night-long negotiations, places Missouri in the vanguard of states including Alabama, Georgia, Ohio and Kentucky that have passed some of the nation’s most restrictive abortion laws. It also serves as another possible legal vehicle to challenge the landmark Roe v Wade case before a newly conservative Supreme Court.
The bill has a “trigger” provision banning abortion completely if the Supreme Court overturns Roe, which established a woman’s right to the procedure without undue government interference. It also contains redundant restrictions that would remain in effect if the two-month threshold were thrown out by the courts, as has happened in other states.
The bill will now need one more vote in the House, where it passed in February and is all but certain to be approved again. It will then go to Gov. Mike Parson for his signature.
“My administration will execute the laws the legislature passes and this pro-life administration will not back down,” Parson told reporters Wednesday evening.
Missouri already has highly restrictive abortion laws. Only one clinic — Planned Parenthood clinic in St. Louis — offers the procedure. The organization immediately condemned the Senate vote.
“Politicians are putting the health and lives of Missouri women at risk in their race to make our state the one that overturns Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court,” M’Evie Mead, director of policy and organizing for Planned Parenthood Advocates in Missouri, said in a statement. “These bans on safe, legal abortion will have real costs — expensive legal costs and human costs for the women and families who need reproductive health care.”
Emotions ran raw through the long night as the bill went through 16 versions in negotiations between Senate Republican leaders, conservatives in their party, and the Democratic minority.
“Together we stand as one to defend the unborn and it’s a subject we care deeply about,” Majority Floor Leader Caleb Rowden told reporters after the vote, choking back tears.
Sen. Bob Onder was the lone Republican who publicly voiced his displeasure with the final bill. From the floor, he yelled, “We should be ashamed at ourselves of what we are doing today.”
“This should be entitled not the ‘Missouri Stands for the Unborn Act,’ but the ‘Missouri Stands for the Unborn Act Sort of Kind Of,’” said Onder, R-Lake Saint Louis.
In an interview, he said among other “subtle” changes, the substitute bill weakened the two-parent notification requirement. Only if parents are divorced and have joint custody would the second parent need to informed their child was to have an abortion. The requirement of having two doctors present for the procedure after 20 weeks was pushed back to the third trimester, he added.
“Those taken together are big changes,” Onder said.
One of the key negotiators for Senate Democrats, Sen. Jill Schupp, said the revisions were marginal.
“House Bill 126 is still an extreme and egregious piece of legislation that puts women’s lives at risk,” Schupp, D-St. Louis County, said in a news conference after the bill’s passage. “Make no mistake about it, this is a sad day for Missouri women and families.”
Democrats began discussing abortion on the Senate floor Wednesday morning in preparation to filibuster.
“I would characterize this bill as extreme. This language four years ago would have been unthinkable, but elections have consequences,” said Sen. Lauren Arthur, D-Kansas City, at the onset of discussion. “And with new Supreme Court justices there’s a new attempt to overturn Roe v Wade, and with that there is a push in this legislature to pass what I would characterize as very extreme legislation.”
Behind the scenes, the Democrats, led by Schupp and Arthur, and Republican leadership negotiated to bring the bill to a point where the Democrats would allow it to the floor. Any action to force a vote over a Democratic filibuster would have effectively killed all pending legislation as Democrats, in retribution, most likely would have taken steps to slow down Senate proceedings with procedural maneuvering.
A deal was finally struck just after 3 a.m. Thursday. Democrats still hated the bill and voted no, leaving the vote tally at 24-10 along party lines, but they didn’t attempt to block it.
The bill makes exceptions only for “medical emergencies.” Women impregnated through rape or incest or because they were victims of human trafficking are not covered. This was a sticking point for Democrats, but the fight was futile.
“The truth is there are 10 of us and 24 of them and our numbers matter,” Schupp said. “The only way we are going to stop terrible legislation like this is to elect more Democrats.”
However, even on an issue they all agreed on, the divide within the Senate Republican Caucus was on full display Wednesday evening.
Initially, it looked like negotiations by GOP leadership would be upended by the Senate Conservative Caucus, a group of six members who have banded together repeatedly to block legislation.
While bipartisan negotiations were taking place in Senate President Pro Tem Dave Schatz’s third floor office, Onder was at an event with the governor in his second floor Capitol office denouncing any attempts to alter the bill.
Late Wednesday, Onder, surrounded by anti-abortion leaders and Conservative Caucus members, held a press conference asking Schatz to forgo negotiations.
“We believe the second violent act does not fix a violent act,” Onder, a Conservative Caucus member, said, of exemptions for rape and incest. “We don’t believe in the death penalty for the crime of the father of the baby.”
The intra-Republican spat wasn’t the week’s first. From Monday into Tuesday, the Conservative Caucus coordinated a 27-hour filibuster to shut down the Senate and prevent passage of workforce incentives and tax breaks to entice General Motors to invest $1 billion in its Wentzville plant. The bill was a priority of Gov. Parson.
“We were told there was no compromise,” said. Sen. Denny Hoskins, a Warrensburg Republican. “No compromise on incentives for economic development, however when we come to a bill that deals with the sanctity of life, all we are told is, ‘We need to compromise. We need to compromise. We need to compromise.’ The time to compromise is over. It’s time to go back into session and take a vote.”
As the meeting of Senate Republicans dragged on, the hallway outside the meeting room filled with anti-abortion activists, hoping to pressure Senate leadership.
Bev Ehlen publicly posted earlier in the evening the cell phone numbers of Schatz and Rowden, encouraging followers to flood them with messages demanding that they not compromise.
Schatz emerged from the room, saying that the Caucus wasn’t all on the same page but passing the bill was never in doubt.
“People that are standing in this hallway, people outside the building don’t understand the process,” Schatz said. “They don’t sit in these positions. So the impatience because this hasn’t happened yet — we are the senators and we make the decisions.”
As Schatz walked to Democrat Minority Leader Gina Walsh’s office for more discussion, he spotted Ehlen.
“Never come to my office,” Schatz angrily said to Ehlen, as he walked past.
“Take it like a man,” Ehlen called out to Schatz’s back.
Schatz turned around and got in Ehlen’s face: “That is so amateur for you to put my cell number out there.”
Shortly after, Schatz circled back to Ehlen to more congenially defend his negotiations with Democrats and remind her of his consistent pro-life stance.
The Missouri Legislature is required to adjourn by 6 p.m. Friday.
Though a truce has been achieved between the two parties, Onder, who has filibustered bills he didn’t like, noted his unhappiness.
When asked if he would allow the Missouri Senate to move forward with other measures, he replied, “I’ll have to think about that.”

BALTIMORE (Reuters) – Amazon.com Inc dismissed the idea of running a fully automated warehouse in the near future, citing the superior cognitive ability of humans and limitations of current technology.
Scott Anderson, director of Amazon Robotics Fulfillment, said technology is at least 10 years away from fully automating the processing of a single order picked by a worker inside a warehouse.
There is a misperception that Amazon will run fully automated warehouses soon, Anderson said during a tour of Amazon’s Baltimore warehouse for reporters on Tuesday.
The technology for a robot to pick a single product from a bin without damaging other products or picking multiple products at the same time in a way that could benefit the e-commerce retailer is years away.
Amazon is exploring a variety of technologies to automate the various steps needed to get a package to shoppers, Anderson said.
“In the current form, the technology is very limited. The technology is very far from the fully automated workstation that we would need,” Anderson said.
The tour came at a time when the company has come under fire from labor groups and other Amazon critics for allegedly poor working conditions in its warehouses and for increasingly automating jobs and reducing its dependence on human labor.
The largest online retailer is also not employing robots in its warehouses that handle fresh food, said Derek Jones, global director of environment, health and safety, who oversees Amazon’s fresh food offerings like Amazon Fresh and Amazon Pantry.
“Just imagine if you want bananas. I want my bananas to be firm, others like their bananas to be ripe. How do you get a robot to choose that?” he said.
Amazon runs 110 warehouses in the United States, 45 sorting centers and about 50 delivery stations. It employs 125,000 full-time warehouse workers in the country.
The warehouses that employ robots mostly handle general merchandise, which includes everything from lamps and clothing to kayaks and bikes.
The company said it is not changing the level of productivity at its warehouses to catch up with its recent one-day shipping announcement. It is instead making changes to the transportation and delivery process.
Last month, Amazon said it plans to deliver packages to members of its loyalty club, Prime, in just one day instead of two.
Anderson said Amazon’s current target is four hours from the time a product is ordered to the time it leaves the warehouse, and the company is sticking with that.
The e-commerce company did not share details on how the decision to raise its minimum wage to $15 had impacted workforce turnover.
However, it said applications for seasonal jobs doubled to 850,000 at the end of October last year from the record number of applications the company received in August 2017, when it held a national job fair.
Amazon raised the minimum wage to $15 per hour for U.S. employees in November, giving in to critics of what they said was poor pay and working conditions.

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace threw a jab at employees of his own network Wednesday, saying some members of Fox News’ opinion arm are “pushing a political agenda” regarding President Donald Trump.
Wallace was on “Shepard Smith Reporting” to discuss the Senate Judiciary Committee testimony of Attorney General William Barr, which focused on special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report.
“I know there are some people who don’t think this March 27 letter is a big deal. And [there are] some opinion people, some opinion people who appear on this network, who may be pushing a political agenda,” said Wallace, who hosts “Fox News Sunday.”
“But you know, we have to deal in facts. And the fact is that this letter from the special counsel . . . was a clear indication that the [special counsel] was upset, very upset, with the letter that had been sent out by the attorney general, and wanted it changed, or wanted it at least added to.”
Mediaite posted a clip of Wallace’s remarks.
Wallace was referring to a letter Mueller sent to Barr regarding the attorney general’s four-page summary of Mueller’s findings. Mueller claimed Barr’s letter “did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance” of Mueller’s full report, a redacted version of which was released in April.
“There are a lot of people, having read now the full report, or as much as it has been not redacted, agree that he didn’t reveal what was fully in the report. Again, those aren’t opinions,” Wallace said. “That’s not a political agenda. Those are the facts.”
