5. Missouri Right to Life: mission: “To uphold and promote
the sanctity of all innocent human life at every stage through
natural death by providing education and by supporting
legislation and programs that endorse that ideal; and by
organizing citizens for effective results”
Core Issues: Abortion, Human cloning and human embryonic
stem cell research, infanticide, euthanasia and assisted
suicide.
Legislation: MRL has drafted and helped to pass legislation
that bans partial-birth and webcam abortions, prevents public
funding of abortion services, human cloning and embryonic
stem cell research; ensures that women are provided
information about their baby’s development, the opportunity
to view an ultrasound, and a minimum 72-hour reflection
period after receiving such information; also: provides tax
credits for donations to charities serving pregnant women in
crisis and funding for alternatives to abortion services;
ensures that every person is given life-preserving healthcare
and has the right to the highest attainable standard of
healthcare without discrimination.
Political Action: Known for two of the state’s most active and
successful political action committees, the MRL PAC informs
Missourians about their legislators’ voting records and
candidates’ positions on pro-life issues.
Education: MRL offers life-affirming videos, books, speakers,
and resources to Missourians. Exhibits at County Fairs in the
summer.
Grassroots Success: Through local MRL chapters, members
increase community awareness, support the work of
Pregnancy care centers and take part in attending Pro-Life
Lobby Days at Jefferson City to encourage our governmental
representatives to vote for life.
