A Missouri bill to support struggling parents and protect vulnerable newborns is now awaiting Gov. Mike Kehoe’s signature after passing both chambers with overwhelming bipartisan support.
Sponsored by Rep. Jim Murphy, R-Oakville, the legislation would expand the Safe Haven Baby Box program, raise tax credits for maternity homes and diaper banks, and establish a new “Zero-Cost Adoption Fund.”
Murphy described the measure as “a pro-life bill that everybody agrees with,” Call Newspapers reported.
