Missouri: St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones signed a bill to use American Rescue Plan money for abortion access. With Missouri’s trigger law taking effect in June after the Supreme Court ruled abortion unconstitutional, abortions are banned unless the health of the mother is in danger with no exceptions for rape or incest. Jones approved the use of $1 million in ARPA funds to assist with travel and childcare for those seeking an abortion out-of-state, and an additional $500,000 will go toward other reproductive healthcare services. “A few weeks ago, I stood in this very spot, and I said I would fight like hell to make sure St. Louisans can access the reproductive health care they need,” said Jones during the signing ceremony. “Today, we won the first round in the ring.”
