Missouri Constitutional Amendment 3

KQ2

Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
• Repeal the 2024 voter-approved Amendment providing reproductive healthcare rights, including abortion through fetal viability;
• Allow abortions for rape and incest (under twelve-weeks’ gestation), emergencies, and fetal anomalies;
• Allow legislation regulating abortion;
• Ensure parental consent for minors’ abortions;
• Prohibit gender transition procedures or minors?

State governmental entities estimate no costs or savings. Greene County estimates it may experience an unknown increase in tax revenue. Other local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings

A "yes" vote supports the repeal of the right to reproductive freedom ratified by voters in 2024. It will also prohibit abortion except in cases of "medical emergency, fetal anomaly, rape or incest" and permit abortions in cases of rape or incest only through 12 weeks of gestation. Additionally, it will prohibit gender transition surgeries, cross-sex hormones and puberty-blocking drugs for minors, with an exception for treatments unrelated to gender transition.

A "no" vote opposes the amendment, keeping the existing constitutional right to reproductive freedom and not adding provisions that prohibit abortion and gender transition surgeries and procedures.
