The Missouri Legislature expanded a tax credit for people who donate to crisis pregnancy centers right around the same time that the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

St. Louis Public Radio’s Jonathan Ahl spoke with Jeremy Kohler of ProPublica who investigated how these taxpayer subsidized groups are operating.
