Voters to decide women’s reproductive freedom rights
Voters in Missouri’s November election will decide women’s right to reproductive freedom and whether to reverse the state’s near total-ban on abortion with Amendment 3.The ballot language asks voters if they want to amend the state Constitution to: “establish a right to make decisions about reproductive health care, including abortion and contraceptives, with any governmental interference of that right presumed invalid; remove Missouri’s ban on abortion; allow regulation of reproductive health care to improve or maintain the health of the patient; require the government not to discriminate, in government programs, funding and other activities, against persons providing or obtaining reproductive health care; and allow abortion to be restricted or banned after fetal viability except to protect the life or health of the woman?”
