The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled that Amendment 3, which seeks to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, will appear on the November 5, 2024 General Election ballot. This decision reverses a prior ruling by Cole County Circuit Judge Cotton Walker, who had deemed the language used by Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft as misleading. The court also ruled that Ashcroft's attempt to decertify the amendment was invalid, effectively nullifying his action. The amendment aims to restore abortion rights following Missouri's nearly total ban enacted after the overturning of Roe v. Wade. This ruling reflects a broader national movement, with at least nine other states considering similar amendments. The Supreme Court is expected to provide further details on their decision later.
