Missouri Gov. Kehoe signs controversial ‘born-alive’ abortion bill into law

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe signed the 'Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act' into law, making it first-degree murder for healthcare providers to kill a born-alive child during an abortion. Democrats and medical professionals criticized the law as unnecessary and potentially harmful to providers, while sponsors argued it addresses rare cases of failed abortions. The law comes amid an upcoming November vote on a proposed abortion amendment.
