Missouri Amendment 3 is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would repeal the 2024 voter-approved Amendment 3, which established a fundamental right to reproductive freedom including abortion. The new measure would prohibit abortion except in cases of medical emergency, fetal anomaly, or rape/incest before 12 weeks.
This is a historic measure -- the first time voters anywhere in the nation will decide whether to repeal a previously approved right-to-abortion amendment. A Cole County judge approved the ballot language after forcing revisions to clarify the measure would 'repeal' rather than merely 'amend' existing protections.
The measure also includes a prohibition on gender transition procedures for minors.
This is the most significant pro-life ballot measure in 2026. Christians who affirm the sanctity of life from conception should support this measure to restore protections for the unborn in Missouri.
