Will Missouri voters approve Amendment 3 to restore abortion rights?

Missouri advocates are campaigning for Amendment 3, which would enshrine the state’s constitutional right to abortion. With Missouri currently having one of the strictest abortion bans in place, advocates, including Planned Parenthood, are campaigning for public support. Missouri’s ban went into effect in 2022 after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, prompting many residents to seek medical care in neighboring Kansas. Anti-abortion groups such as 40 Days for Life argue that the current law protects maternal health in emergencies and oppose Amendment 3, arguing that abortion is not health care. If passed, the amendment would trigger legal challenges.
