In a significant move, Missouri lawmakers are advancing efforts to place a referendum on the ballot that seeks to repeal the abortion rights amendment, which was approved by voters last year. Republican legislators are determined to reinstate a ban on most abortions, aiming to reverse the protections that were enacted through the amendment last year. As the state legislature enters its final week, the proposed ballot measure has gained momentum, reflecting a continued focus on abortion policy and related issues among Missouri Republicans. This effort means that voters may face another decision regarding abortion laws in the upcoming referendums.
