Missouri Abortion Rights Under Legal Scrutiny Following Voter Approval

In Missouri, the recent passage of Amendment 3 has legalized abortion, but the battle over abortion rights continues as GOP lawmakers and activists work to reintroduce restrictions. The state’s attorney general insists that certain abortion restrictions remain enforceable despite the amendment. As judges weigh multiple lawsuits aimed at overturning the near-total abortion ban, advocates from both sides are preparing for a protracted legal fight. The situation remains uncertain as the state courts consider challenges to the existing pro-life laws while Planned Parenthood anticipates resuming services amidst ongoing legal complications.
