Description: Some crazy liberals and their allies and organizations like NARAL, that are trying to create an abortion sanctuary city right here in the state of Missouri.

The governor spoke to the "Show Me Life" Pro-Life Action Day at the Missouri State Capitol.

St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay called the sanctuary city comment an unfortunate mischaracterization.

The St. Louis City Board of Aldermen approved expanding the city's anti-discrimination law to include women who have had abortions or used contraceptives in early February.

Multiple bills have been filed in Jefferson City to preempt the city measure.
