Divine’s record of attacking women’s reproductive rights is well-established.
As solicitor general of Missouri, he led a major challenge to the Food and Drug Administration’s decades-long approval of mifepristone, aka the abortion pill. He also defended his state’s efforts to block Planned Parenthood from getting Medicaid reimbursements, and defended his state’s extreme requirements for accessing abortion care, including making women endure mandatory waiting periods, ultrasounds and pelvic exams.
Divine has gone after LGBTQ+ rights, too, when he defended Missouri’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors and represented the state in a case trying to challenge conversion therapy bans.
