Missouri: 3 Initial Amendments — 2 will NOT be on the ballot!

1. “Amendment 3”: Repeal Pro-Abortion Constitutional Amendment & Replace with Pro-Life Amendment

• Repeal the 2024 voter-approved Amendment providing reproductive healthcare rights, including abortion through fetal viability;
• Allow abortions for rape and incest (under twelve-weeks’ gestation), emergencies, and fetal anomalies;
• Allow legislation regulating abortion;
• Ensure parental consent for minors’ abortions;
• Prohibit gender transition procedures for minors?

• Repealing the “reproductive freedom” constitutional amendment that voters ratified in 2024. (The current language in the Missouri Constitution provides a “fundamental right” to abortion, permitting abortion up until birth for virtually any reason.)
• Prohibiting abortion and public funding for the same except in cases of medical emergency, fetal anomaly, or in cases of rape and incest prior to 12 weeks gestation.
• Prohibiting the harvest of fetal body parts.
• Prohibiting gender transition surgery or related “care” for minors.
• As outlined by the MO Right to Life PAC, “Ensure accurate medical information regarding abortion is given to women” and “standard of safety guidelines are in place for abortions.”

• As a legislatively referred constitutional amendment, approved by the Legislature for the ballot in 2025, this amendment will be on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot.
• A simple majority vote is required for it to become law.
