This is not the first time the Republican legislature in Mo has changed the Mo State slogan from “The Welfare of the People is the Supreme Law” to “The Will of the People be Damned”.

Missouri's GOP supermajority has an absolute stranglehold on the state. They have overturned or ignored just about every ballot measure that hasn't aligned with their ideology.

Oops too bad the voters negated their votes for abortion access with disastrous choices for president and senator.

Voters who say they care about this issue are going to have to punish the party blocking its access at the ballot box.

Republican politicians don't care about obeying the law if it goes against what they want.

So did Ohio and the Republicans running State said the people didn’t know what they were doing so we’re ignoring it.

Missouri has been operating as an authoritarian state for decades. GOP routinely ignores all voter-passed ballot measures it disagrees with.

Maybe Missouri voters shouldn't have invited a dictator to the White House.

It’s easy to want to see the haunted house burn until you realize there are children inside.
