Abortion-rights organizations in the St. Louis area have received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations since Politico published a draft Supreme Court decision last week that could overturn Roe v. Wade. Missouri is one of a dozen states with a law that would prohibit almost all abortions as soon as the 1973 decision is overturned.

State Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, R-Arnold, has filed a bill that would ban abortions when doctors have determined that a fetus has cardiac activity, which can occur as early as six weeks. The bill, modeled on a Texas law, also would allow private citizens to sue doctors or others who aid abortion seekers if they disobey the law.

Missouri Republicans say they plan to introduce more restrictive abortion legislation modeled on a Texas law that took effect this week. Abortion rights activists are gearing up for a tough battle in the Republican-controlled legislature.
