¶ Post-Roe Leak
Eric Greitens Claimed That With Roe V Wade Soon To Be Overturned, The US Could Replicate Anti-Abortion Law He Signed As Governor. According to a press release from Eric Greitens, “Those who leaked this Supreme Court draft opinion is trying to weaponized the court and turn the sacred institution into a political cudgel during the midterm elections. Life is precious and worth of protection – especially the unborn who are the most vulnerable. As governor of Missouri, I called the first ever pro-life special session and defended the sanctity of life. In spite of their efforts, we passed pro-life legislation that made Missouri the safest state in the country for the unborn. That ‘Missouri Miracle’ became the blueprint for other states to introduce their own legislation. ‘We can now take the miracle we made in Missouri, and turn it into an American Miracle.’” [Facebook, @EricGreitens, 5/3/22]
[AUDIO] Eric Greitens Claimed That As Governor Missouri Went From “5000 Abortions A Day’ To Becoming The Safest State For The Unborn. “Yes, sir. Well, it's one of the proudest things I did when I was governor, I came into office as a pro-life conservative, and in Missouri, we had pro-life majorities of Republicans in the House and in the Senate. So, when I came in and I thought I thought this was going to be easy. I might have been a little naive. I thought these guys have been campaigning on a pro-life platform for generations. Now that I'm here, we can easily pass pro-life legislation. Well, my first term, when those Republicans came in and they lied to my face, these RINOs did every week, I kept asking when they were going to get pro-life legislation done. They put it off and put it off and put it off. And then the session ended and nothing had been done for pro-life. Well, there's a provision in the Missouri Constitution that the governor can declare an emergency and call a special session. And I believe that saving the lives of the unborn was an emergency. I called those legislators back. We got a special session done. And in that special session, we passed the strongest legislation in the country for protecting the unborn. And today we call it the Missouri Miracle. When I had come into office, we had about 5000 abortions a day, today Missouri is the safest state in the country for the unborn. And when I'm elected to the United States Senate, we're going to take that Missouri miracle and make it the American miracle.” [War Raw Podcast, 05/10/22]

You guys want to take our country back? Did you guys see the good news about Roe v. Wade? All right. All right. So, let's be let's be hopeful.” [Llywelyn's Pub, 05/03/22]
¶ Greitens Lauded The Supreme Court Decision Overturning Roe v. Wade
Greitens Praised Overturning Roe And Said It Was A “Huge Victory For The Life Movement.” According to KMOV4, “Former Missouri governor and U.S. Senate GOP hopeful Eric Greitens said the decision is ‘a huge victory for the life movement.’ Life is the most precious gift from our Creator and is always worthy of protection, especially the unborn who are the most vulnerable. We saw how liberals and extremists went to disgusting lengths to leak the draft opinion last month as a way to damage this sacred institution for their radical political agenda. But their reprehensible actions were no match for level-headed justices who looked at the case without prejudice or predisposition. As governor, I called the first-ever pro-life special session as a response to weak RINOs who failed to stand up for the sanctity of life. As a result, we passed the ‘Missouri Miracle,’ the most pro-life legislation in the country, which continues to serve as the blueprint for other states with the courage to protect the unborn.” [KMOV4, 6/22/24]
Eric Greitens Said “President Trump deserves the credit for SCOTUS overturning Roe v. Wade.” Greitens tweeted, “President Trump deserves the credit for SCOTUS overturning Roe v. Wade. Sure RINO McConnell & the GOP held a seat for a couple of months, but President Trump beating Hillary Clinton, with no help from establishment RINOs, is what made this possible. Thank you, 45! Us”[Twitter, @EricGreitens, 6/27/22]
[AUDIO] Eric Greitens Took Credit For Recently Enforced Ban On Abortion In Missouri. “One hundred percent, two key points about this, and they do relate to rhinos, number one, this the success of this, the great moment, this moment that we all experience is because of President Trump, yesterday's Supreme Court decision would not have been possible without President Trump. He nominated conservative judges who respect the Constitution. He's the one who took out Hillary Clinton, and he did it with no help from the RINO establishment. And, you know, when I was governor, I I served as governor. I'm obviously 100 percent pro-life. And I had to fight against rhinos. They wouldn't pass pro-life legislation. So I actually called a special session as governor, the first in the history of Missouri. We had a pro-life special session when I had come in as governor. We had over 5000 abortions a year in Missouri because of the pro-life legislation that we passed in that special session. We were able to make it so that today Missouri is the safest state in the country for the unborn. So this is a tremendous victory. It was a victory that was that happened because America, first pro-life champion, stood up and done the right thing.” [Breitbart News Saturday, Missouri, 06/25/2022]
[AUDIO] Eric Greitens Claimed Former President Trump Was Responsible For Recent Supreme Court Rulings On Abortion And Gun Control. “One hundred percent, Matt, you make so many key points, number one, the rhinos were wrong. Number two, what did the rhinos do? The rhinos use the mainstream media to lie about President Trump. They did it in 2016 and they're doing it today with the January six committee hearings. And also, it was President Trump because of his strength, not only did he get conservative justices through, but he also stood up to the leftist smear campaigns. Let's all remember how leftists lied about Justice Kavanaugh. Let's remember those disgusting smears and all of those lies. And it was only because President Trump stayed strong that we were able to get Justice Kavanagh's through. He didn't back down in the face of all that leftist pressure. What rhinos do is that they always collapse in the in the face of any pressure from the left, and they work with the mainstream media to lie about true America First conservatives. They lie about me. They lie about President Trump. So you're 100 percent right that we we fortunately got this fantastic, beautiful decision from the Supreme Court on life. And we also had the Supreme Court stand up and affirm the Second Amendment. The people have the right to concealed carry. All of those victories are because of one person and that's President Trump.” [Breitbart News Saturday, Missouri, 06/25/2022]
