Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will TRIPLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $30 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

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.
