Missouri Supreme Court Upholds Abortion Rights Measure for November Ballot

The court's decision ensures voters will have the chance to enshrine reproductive freedom in the state constitution, potentially overturning existing abortion bans.

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.
