Issues
[edit]Abortion
[edit]In 2019, Schroer sponsored legislation to ban abortions eight weeks into a pregnancy.[3][4] The legislation would also prevent women from having abortions if the fetus is diagnosed with Down syndrome.[4]
COVID-19
[edit]In 2022, Schroer opposed the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine requirements for health care workers.[5]
Education
[edit]In 2023, Schroer supported legislation which prevents public schools from teaching Critical Race Theory and which requires schools to provide parents curriculum materials for their children.[6] In 2024, Schroer sponsored the amendment to ensure that the locker rooms and restrooms students use matches their biological sex.[7]
Defamation lawsuit
[edit]In April 2024, Schroer was sued, along with two other Missouri state senators, for false light by Denton Loudermill of Olathe, Kansas, after Schroer shared a tweet by Congressman Tim Burchett that displayed an image on social media of a man in handcuffs, with a claim that one of the shooters was an undocumented immigrant at the 2024 Kansas City parade shooting, along with a question whether the claim had been confirmed or debunked by local law enforcement.[8] That case was dismissed after the Court granted Senator Schroer's Motion to Dismiss [9]
