The Missouri sovereignty resolution failed because it combined Tenth Amendment claims with anti-abortion language.

My home state, Missouri. This one's weird. Their version, H.R. 212, was a little bit rangy. Quote, it declares Missouri's sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment and urges the United States Congress to reject the passage of Federal Freedom of Choice Act, which prohibits regulations on abortion. So they tried to... So in a double whammy, they were like, the law is the law, but at the same time, please don't make any more laws. About abortion, please. They tried to Frankenstein's monster, the Tenth Amendment, and abortion into this H.R. 212. That sounds very Missourian to do. This bill was deemed unpassable in the Missouri House. Even Missouri was like, whoa, guys. Well, because it covered too much. It was like, we can't get a consensus on this.
