Missouri Deputy AG Rescued After Six-Day Survival in Wyoming's Wind River Range

Shaun Mackelprang, a Missouri deputy attorney general, was rescued alive on Wednesday after being missing for six days in Wyoming's Wind River Range. He had set out on August 20 to summit Gannett Peak, the state's highest point, as part of a personal quest to reach the highest points in all 50 states. Search crews located him near Scott Lake, approximately 8.5 miles from the trailhead, where he was found dehydrated and disoriented. Authorities confirmed he had signed the summit register, indicating the incident occurred during his descent. He was airlifted out by helicopter in the morning. Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway expressed gratitude for the rescue efforts, while his brother noted the extreme difficulty of the terrain and the uncertainty of his survival duration.

Missouri Attorney General Challenges FDA Approval of Mail-Order Abortion Pills

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey, along with the states of Idaho and Kansas, is suing the FDA and the Department of Health and Senior Services for unlawfully approving the shipment of chemical abortion pills in the mail. Bailey argues that the FDA's guidance is not only unlawful but also endangers the lives of women and unborn children. The lawsuit seeks to halt the FDA's illegal federal overreach and challenges the agency's failure to protect the health and safety of Americans. The attorney generals reject the Biden administration's interpretation of the law and anticipate that courts will also reject it. The lawsuit seeks a preliminary injunction against several FDA policies related to the distribution of abortion pills.

Missouri AG's Lawsuit Targets Transgender Policies in Wentzville Schools

The lawsuit alleges that the clinic violated state law by providing transgender care to minor patients without adequate mental health assessments. The clinic's attorneys argue that Bailey is distorting consumer protection laws to interfere with healthcare access and accuse him of prioritizing erasing transness over addressing more pressing issues. The lawsuit comes in the midst of an ongoing fight over a new Missouri law restricting transgender healthcare for minors.

"St. Louis Mayor Proposes Strict Gun Ban to Curb Violence"

St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones has proposed legislation that would ban "military-grade weapons" and prohibit "insurrectionists" and those convicted of hate crimes from possessing firearms. The specific details of the measure have not been released yet. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has warned that such a law would violate the state constitution and has vowed to resist any infringement on the right to bear arms. St. Louis has been grappling with high homicide rates and has been unsuccessful in persuading the Republican-led Legislature to enact stricter gun laws. The state currently has lenient gun laws, including allowing concealed carry without a background check or permit.

Kim Gardner Pursues Nursing Amid Legal Battles.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, who is facing legal battles and a growing number of prosecutors resigning from her office, is enrolled in a nursing program at St. Louis University. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has issued several subpoenas to the school requesting documents relating to Gardner’s class schedule, her hours and participation in class, hours she may have worked at the school, surveillance camera footage, and relevant conversation between the circuit attorney and her instructors at SLU. Bailey cited Missouri statute 56.445, which requires the circuit attorney and their assistants “devote their entire time and energy to the discharge of their official duties.” Gardner's office released a statement saying that she believes the issues in the criminal justice system often relate to the broken healthcare system.
