Missouri HB1661 modifies the state's laws to recognize unborn children as entitled to the same rights and protections as other persons.
Missouri HB1661 repeals and replaces Section 1.205 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, asserting that the life of each human being begins at conception. The bill mandates that laws be interpreted to acknowledge the rights, privileges, and immunities of unborn children at every stage of development, aligning them with those of other persons. It defines "unborn children" as including all offspring from conception until birth. This change aims to ensure unborn children receive the same legal protections as other individuals under state law.
