Issues

Abortion

In 2019, Schroer sponsored legislation to ban abortions eight weeks into a pregnancy.[1][2] The legislation would also prevent women from having abortions if the fetus is diagnosed with Down syndrome.[2]

COVID-19

In 2022, Schroer opposed the Biden administration's COVID-19 vaccine requirements for health care workers.[3]

Education

In 2023, Schroer authored legislation which prevents public schools from teaching Critical Race Theory and which requires schools to provide parents curriculum materials for their children.[4] In 2024, Schroer sponsored the amendment to ensure that the locker rooms and restrooms students use matches their biological sex.[5]

Defamation lawsuit

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.[6] That case was dismissed after the Court granted Senator Schroer's Motion to Dismiss [7]
