Missouri High Court OKs Ballot Measure to Enshrine Abortion Rights

HeadlineSep 11, 2024

Missouri’s Supreme Court has allowed a ballot measure enshrining abortion rights in the state’s constitution to remain on November’s ballot. Tuesday’s ruling came just before the deadline to print ballots for mail-in voters. If approved by voters, the measure could undo Missouri’s near-total abortion ban, which went into effect after the Supreme Court’s ruling that gutted Roe v. Wade in 2022. At least eight other states, including Arizona and Florida, will vote on similar measures in November. After headlines, we’ll have more on reproductive rights, a major topic in last night’s presidential debate.
