Overview

• The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled that the abortion-rights measure will stay on the November ballot.
• The proposed amendment aims to enshrine the right to abortion and reproductive freedom in the state constitution.
• If passed, the amendment would overturn Missouri's near-total abortion ban, in place since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
• Supporters argue it is a victory for direct democracy and reproductive rights, while opponents claim it misleads voters.
• Missouri joins several other states where voters will decide on abortion rights measures this November.
