Summary

Missouri voters have passed a ballot amendment enshrining reproductive rights in the State Constitution, marking a stunning repudiation of one of the nationโ€™s strictest bans on abortion.

The amendment guarantees a "fundamental right to reproductive freedom," including decisions on abortion, and allows the state to restrict abortion only after fetal viability, except in cases affecting the motherโ€™s health.

Missouri, the first state to enact a ban after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, is now also the first to reverse such a ban through a citizen-initiated measure.

Abortion rights advocates gathered record-breaking signatures, revealing broad support despite strong conservative opposition.
