Missouri Abortion Ballot Measure Qualifies for Vote in November

Washington Examiner

A ballot measure in Missouri that would establish a right to make decisions about reproductive care, including abortion, will appear before voters in November, the office of Missouri’s secretary of state confirmed Tuesday.

Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft confirmed that the measure had received the necessary signatures to appear on the Nov. 5 ballot. The announcement sets up the Show Me State as one of the places where voters will decide on an abortion ballot measure, two years after the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization returned lawmaking on abortion to the states.

The ballot measure would overturn the state’s current abortion law, which bans the act except in medical emergencies, and instead restrict the state government from making laws on the matter but allow it to pass a law banning abortion after fetal viability with exceptions for the mother’s life or physical or mental health.
