Missouri Abortion Rights Amendment to Appear on Ballot
News summary

The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled that Amendment 3, which seeks to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, will appear on the November ballot. This decision overturns a lower court's ruling that the measure violated state law by not adequately explaining which existing laws it would repeal. The ruling has been celebrated by abortion-rights advocates as a win for direct democracy and reproductive freedom, while opponents argue it fails to protect voters by omitting critical information. The decision ensures that Missouri voters will decide on this contentious issue just in time to meet the ballot-printing deadline. The amendment would allow abortions until fetal viability, a point defined by the judgment of healthcare professionals based on individual cases. Meanwhile, the Nebraska Supreme Court is still reviewing two opposing abortion-related ballot initiatives for compliance with the state's single-subject rule.
