JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The manufacturer of a popular weedkiller won support Wednesday from the Missouri House for a proposal that could shield it from costly lawsuits alleging it failed to warn customers its product could cause cancer.

The House vote marked an important but incremental victory for chemical giant Bayer, which acquired an avalanche of legal claims involving the weedkiller Roundup when it bought the product’s original St. Louis-area-based producer, Monsanto.

This is a travesty!!!!!!!
I worked for American Cancer Society in MO in the mid nineties and I can attest to hundreds of deaths in rural MO from cancer.

One being my sister in law who died of lung cancer and never smoked a day. But she farmed!

Fucking ASSHOLE republicans!
Biggest reason I left the state was due to the fucking RED BASTARDS taking over and look what Missourians get?? FFS!
