Pro-choice activists demonstrated inside the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City on May 18 as the Republican-led House voted to ban abortions after eight weeks of pregnancy.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, lawmakers in Missouri approved a bill that would ban most abortions in the state in a final 110-44 vote. The proposal will now move forward to Republic Governor Mike Parson who is expected to sign the bill into law.
