A Cole County judge has approved the ballot language for an amendment aiming to reinstate a ban on most abortions in Missouri. This decision follows several attempts by the Missouri Secretary of State to submit appropriate ballot summaries, which faced criticism for being unclear and inadequate. Despite previous rejections of similar ballot language, the approved wording will now allow voters to decide on the controversial anti-abortion measure. The ruling has intensified the ongoing debate surrounding abortion rights in the state, particularly as opponents gear up to campaign against the amendment.
