Missouri: The Abortion Ban and Purity Culture

I grew up in a Christian household in Missouri, meaning I spent my weekends in church and my summers at Vacation Bible School. VBS mostly entailed games, fun crafts, snacks, and lots of songs. Naturally, I loved it growing up. One day after snack, I remember, a guest speaker came to our class with a ‘Pro-Life’ button pinned to her chest. We all sat down on a carpet and let the church shove their anti-abortion propaganda down our throats.
