amendment 3

House Republicans have advanced a joint resolution to the floor which would put limits on abortion rights that voters added to the state constitution in November.

This comes months after voters approved Amendment 3 legalizing abortion.

Republicans say that putting a new measure on the ballot to undo Amendment 3 is a priority for this legislative session.

Officials from a Kansas City Planned Parenthood on Tuesday confirmed the first procedure has been performed since the state almost completely outlawed abortion in 2022.

The Rolla City Council turned away a first effort to make the city the first in the state to declare itself a “Sanctuary City for the Unborn.”

Dr. Betsy Wickstrom, a high-risk OB-GYN in Kansas City, said she still worries abortion access will remain tenuous for the foreseeable future

The leader of Planned Parenthood Great Plains says the move is a ploy to prevent a Jackson County judge from potentially knocking down other abortion restrictions.

If a lawsuit successfully blocks enforcement of the state's abortion ban, this will be the first time since 2018 that the Columbia location provides abortions.

Missourians approved Amendment 3, which would place language in the state constitution legalizing abortion.

Republican signs were vandalized with swastikas and other inappropriate imagery, and Yes on 3 signs have been stolen.
