Missouri Gov. Mike Parson ended all public funding of Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers in his state with a stroke of his pen on May 9.

“Our administration has been the strongest pro-life administration in Missouri history,” he said after signing House Bill 2634 into law. “We’ve ended all elective abortions in this state, approved new support for mothers, expecting mothers, and children, and, with this bill, ensured that we are not sending taxpayer dollars to abortion providers for any purpose.”
