The court rewrote the ballot language for the anti-abortion Amendment 3, including the summary statement that voters will see on the ballot and the fair ballot language which informs voters of what a yes and no vote will mean.
Just in: Court finds both the legislature's and the Secretary of State's summary statement and fair ballot language insufficient; orders new language. More to come.
Breaking: We are in Court fighting to to ensure fair and accurate ballot language on the misleading, anti-abortion Amendment 3, which would end the right to reproductive freedom in Missouri. Missourians are required to have fair and accurate ballot language when asked to change the constitution.

We the people!
Abortion care remains available in Missouri

We asked the court to block the ban on medication abortion care.
