Since a leaked Supreme Court decision that could affect abortion rights circulated last week, we’ve heard from readers concerned about Missouri’s “trigger” law that would ban nearly all abortions in the state.

Even former Missouri Democratic senator Claire McCaskill tweeted about Plan B potentially becoming illegal.
