BREAKING: Missouri Voters to Decide on Abortion Amendment

Voters in Missouri will head to the polls on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, to vote on Amendment 2, a measure that would add language to the state constitution stating that there is no right to abortion and gives the legislature the authority to regulate abortion.

The amendment is the culmination of years of effort by anti-abortion activists in Missouri. If passed, it would make Missouri one of the most restrictive states in the country in terms of abortion access.

The amendment has been the subject of intense debate in Missouri. Supporters of the amendment argue that it is necessary to protect the unborn and that it would give the state legislature the authority to regulate abortion in a way that reflects the values of Missourians.

Opponents of the amendment argue that it is an extreme measure that would effectively ban abortion in Missouri and that it would have a devastating impact on women's health. They also argue that the amendment is unconstitutional and that it would be struck down by the courts.
