In an unprecedented move to funnel more public tax dollars toward groups that oppose abortion, Republican lawmakers in Missouri are advancing a plan to allow residents to donate to pregnancy resource centers instead of paying any state income taxes.
The proposal would establish a 100% tax credit, up from 70%, and a $50,000 annual cap per taxpayer. The result: Nearly all Missouri households — except those with the highest incomes — could fully satisfy their state tax bill by redirecting their payment from the state to pregnancy centers.
The move comes four months after Missouri voters reversed one of the nation’s strictest abortion bans, and just as clinics have begun performing the procedure again after overcoming Republican obstacles.
The fuck does an anti-abortion center even do? Propaganda?
Sell themselves as doctors and browbeat expecting mothers into not getting abortions. Practice anti-vax and woo.
The things a midwife from the 1800s might do, generally.

In the text it calls them “pregnancy resource center”. Let’s rebrand planned parenthood and donate away!
they allow women & fetuses to suffer & potentially die when appropriate medical attention could result in more living mothers & babies (including the currently especially-cherished WHITE ones!)
