Understanding the Pro-Abortion Constitutional Amendment on Your Ballot

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Gen. 1:27).

A pro-abortion measure is on the ballot in Missouri, titled “Right to Reproductive Freedom.”

A “no” vote means that Missouri’s current pro-life laws would remain on the books. Missouri has historically been a leader in the pro-life movement, with strong laws that reflect the value we place on life at all stages.

A “yes” vote supports amending the Missouri Constitution to provide the right for “reproductive freedom,” prevents the state Legislature from enacting any law to protect ​​the preborn prior to “fetal viability,” and allows late-term abortion if keeping the child would affect the mother’s “mental health.”

Election Day is ⁦Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2024⁩.

  • Educate others about the true nature of this proposal. Share information with your community about the potential consequences of this amendment. 
  • Advocate by contacting your local representatives and encouraging them to stand firm in their defense of life.
  • Vote. The initiative only needs 50% approval of voters to pass, so every vote against this measure counts in the effort to protect life.
