Missouri Republicans push amendment to roll back abortion rights

NEW: In 2024, a yes vote on Missouri’s Amendment 3 protected abortion rights. In November, voters will again be asked to choose yes on Amendment 3 — this time to take those rights away.

Two years ago voters in Missouri overturned a near-total abortion ban enacted by the GOP-dominated legislature. Now the party is pushing a new ballot initiative to repeal abortion rights, linking it to anti-trans sentiment. / by @jeremykohler.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/miss...

www.propublica.org/article/miss... Missouri voted to protect Abortion rights in 2024. GOP wants to put Amendment 3 on the November ballot using misleading language and even a recycled name to nullify the will of the people. #Abortion #Missouri #Blues

This story says a lot about the state of democracy in the Show Me State. Missouri Republicans Are Trying to Repeal Abortion Rights by Leaning Into Anti-Trans Sentiment @jeremykohler.bsky.social

Missouri Republicans Are Trying to Repeal Abortion Rights by Leaning Into Anti-Trans Sentiment Two years after falsely linking reproductive rights to gender transition care for minors, GOP lawmakers have packaged the two issues into one amendment in an effort to strip away the right to abortion.

Missouri Republicans just keep ignoring voters, using the same old anti-trans scare tactics to push unpopular abortion bans, even when those trans bans already exist.

This days after the Missouri Supreme court affirmed that the Secretary of State, who is not a legislator or a judge, can squash a citizen-created referendum to have a vote on redistricting. The decision stated the referendum had too many issues to consider. www.propublica.org/article/miss...

In today's reminder that trans rights and the right to your bodily autonomy are one and the same... www.propublica.org/article/miss...

Missouri is fascinating. No better guide than @jeremykohler.bsky.social. The Missouri GOP "holds a supermajority in the legislature and controls every statewide office, yet voters have repeatedly used the initiative petition process to enact policies Republican leaders oppose."

Missouri - Don’t be fooled. Abortion & women’s reproductive health care are not the same. What have Rs done for you? No lower prices, no healthcare, no help with SS or Medicaid- they just want you to HATE. That’s the Republican platform www.propublica.org/article/miss...

Republican Politicians in Missouri are not being honest with their people--on abortion rights www.propublica.org/article/miss...

This is on voters. They keep passing initiatives that stop Republicans, but also keep electing Republicans. Until they wake the hell up, this circus will continue. www.propublica.org/article/miss...

Missouri Republicans Are Trying to Repeal Abortion Rights by Leaning Into Anti-Trans Sentiment www.propublica.org/article/miss... **Republicans in states that have protected woman's rights will do everything they can to take it away. Vote them out before they succeed.

Missouri really doesn't want you to have basic human rights or healthcare. Republicans there are doing everything they can to take rights away from citizens. www.propublica.org/article/miss...

Missouri Voters! Vote No on GOP trickery in Nov 2026 “Amendment 3” that would ➡️ BAN abortion and ➡️ PROHIBIT trans care for minors. #Missouri #Amendment3 www.propublica.org/article/miss...
