The newly proposed constitutional amendment would go back to voters in November 2026, or sooner, if Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe calls a special election before then.
Republican senators used a series of rare procedural moves to cut off discussion by opposing Democrats before passing the proposed abortion-rights revision by a 21-11 vote. The measure passed the Republican-led House last month.
Immediately after vote, protestors erupted with chants of “Stop the ban!” and were ushered out of the Senate chamber.
Missouri matters less than most states regarding abortion law. Neither Kansas nor Illinois is getting rid of abortion. East St. Louis covers the St. Louis area and Johnson County, KS covers the Kansas City area. You aren’t going to see abortions elsewhere in the state anyway because the economics don’t support it in smaller communities.
