The Missouri Senate has passed a controversial measure to place a restrictive abortion referendum on the 2024 ballot, aiming to overturn constitutional protections enacted just six months ago. The proposed amendment would allow abortions only in limited circumstances—such as medical emergencies, fetal anomalies, or cases of rape and incest—permitting the latter only up to 12 weeks gestation. Supporters of abortion rights have strongly opposed this move, emphasizing that a significant majority of voters previously supported abortion rights in the state. Activists declare this a pivotal moment for reproductive health autonomy in Missouri.
The Missouri Senate's recent bill places a restrictive abortion referendum for voters in 2024, potentially undermining recently established constitutional protections for reproductive rights.
Republican legislators, seeking to repeal the recently passed Amendment 3, propose new restrictions on abortion—permitting it only in specific circumstances and up to 12 weeks for rape and incest.
