SB 1222 - This act establishes that pro-life individuals and organizations, as defined in the act, may intervene in actions in which a provision of the Missouri Constitution, statute, or rule involves the regulation of abortion or where the rights of an unborn child is at issue.

This act is substantially similar to a provision in SB 794 (2025).
