(AP) – A Missouri lawmaker says he posted a Facebook video
of himself decapitating and butchering a chicken on his farm Monday to show he
was working before being called back for a legislative session on abortion.Republican State Representative Mike Moon, an abortion opponent, makes a jab at
Republican Governor Eric Greitens in the video but says he’s ready to return to work
and try to pass anti-abortion measures. Moon filed a bill Monday that he said in
the video is designed to end abortion in Missouri.

This is the second time Greitens has called lawmakers back to the Capitol
since the May end of their legislative session. Greitens has repeatedly
criticized lawmakers as career politicians. Moon says the video shows he was
working on his farm before returning to Jefferson City.
