Missouri Democrat Attacks Pro-Life Group for Helping Women Find Abortion Alternatives
In an unexpected twist fit for the silver screen, Missouri State Representative Emily Weber (D-24) has unveiled House Resolution No. 4693, a script that could rival any daytime drama. In this latest episode from the halls of the Missouri State Legislature, the spotlight turns to Choose Life Marketing and our collaborative work with the state of Missouri’s Alternatives to Abortion (A2A) program, casting us as the season’s unintended villains.
Weber’s resolution portrays Choose Life Marketing as a mastermind behind a vast conspiracy to mislead the masses. With charges ranging from trickery with white coats to the diabolical use of geofencing technology, one might wonder if we’ve entered a spy novel rather than a serious debate on healthcare and choice.
At the heart of Weber’s narrative is an assertion that feels ripped from the pages of a dystopian tale—suggesting that offering alternatives to abortion and support to pregnant women is akin to a grand deception, pulling the wool over the eyes of the unsuspecting public. Yet, what the resolution dubs as misleading and dangerous, countless women have called empowering and life-affirming.
Let’s set the record straight: Choose Life Marketing, in collaboration with MO A2A, champions the provision of comprehensive support and information. Our mission is to illuminate pathways to support not always spotlighted by the mainstream, offering beacons of hope and choice to women who might feel lost in the shadows of uncertainty caused by their unplanned pregnancies. We by no means are denying women healthcare; that’s a gross and blatant misrepresentation. We offer alternatives to killing unborn babies.
Weber’s resolution, while a commendable work of fiction for its dramatic flair and hyperbole, overlooks the essence of what it means to provide genuine support and care. It casts aspersions on the tireless work of those who devote their lives to offering not just healthcare, but heart care—support that nurtures the emotional and physical well-being of women facing one of the most pivotal decisions of their lives.

In calling for an end to the state’s contracts with Choose Life Marketing, the resolution unwittingly pushes a narrative of exclusion over empowerment and suggests a one-size-fits-all approach to reproductive health. This is not the Missouri way. The Show-Me State has always been about showing all sides, all options, and empowering its citizens to make informed choices.
As for the funding drama, let’s remember that every story has its budget. The investments made in Choose Life Marketing and these life-supporting centers are not a siphoning of resources but an affirmation of Missouri’s commitment to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all its residents, born and unborn.
In the end, HR 4693 may have aimed for an exposé, but it inadvertently shines a light on the critical work and effectiveness of Choose Life Marketing in supporting women facing unplanned pregnancies. Representative Weber’s preference for directing funds towards abortion services rather than supporting a woman’s right to choose life reveals a troubling stance that merits a broader discussion on our societal values and the true meaning of choice.
In the quest for comprehensive care, the narrative must be expansive enough to include the voices of those advocating for the most vulnerable. In Missouri and in every state, our story can’t be confined to a single path when the stakes are lives in the making.
Together, let’s champion a script where every life is valued, ensuring women receive comprehensive support and the freedom to choose life for their unborn children.
