In November 2024, Missouri voters will face a critical decision regarding reproductive rights, as they may repeal a constitutional right to reproductive freedom established in 2024. The proposed Amendment 3 seeks to ban most abortions, allowing them only in cases of medical emergencies, fetal anomalies, rape, or incest, with specific gestational limits. Additionally, it aims to permanently prohibit gender-affirming care for minors, which is currently set to expire in 2027. Governor Mike Kehoe announced that several ballot measures would be moved to the August primary, but Amendment 3 will remain on the General Election ballot in November. Polling data from February indicates that a plurality of voters are in favor of overturning the state's abortion protections, a sentiment that has not significantly changed since 2024. The campaign 'NO on 3, Stop the Ban' emphasizes that the decision should rest with voters, not politicians, while supporters of Amendment 3 argue it reflects core values of the state. The strategic placement of this amendment on the ballot suggests that Kehoe anticipates a larger, potentially less informed voter turnout that may favor the ban.
