Will Missouri voters pass Amendment 3 to restore abortion rights?

Missouri advocates are campaigning for Amendment 3, which would establish a constitutional right to abortion in the state. With Missouri currently having one of the strictest abortion bans in the country, supporters including Planned Parenthood are trying to gain public support. Missouri’s ban was enacted in 2022 after the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, prompting many residents to seek care in nearby Kansas. Anti-abortion groups, such as 40 Days for Life, argue that the current law protects maternal health in emergency situations and oppose Amendment 3, claiming that abortion is not health care. If passed, the amendment would lead to legal challenges.
