Lawsuits Filed Over Missouri Abortion Amendment
News summary

Planned Parenthood's Missouri branches have filed complaints against House Bill 2634, which blocks them from Medicaid funding, arguing that it undermines health care access for low-income patients. Nearly 20% of their patients rely on Medicaid, and the organization plans to absorb costs while continuing to provide essential services. Meanwhile, a lawsuit has been filed by Republican legislators to invalidate Amendment 3, a ballot measure that seeks to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, claiming it could lead to taxpayer-funded abortions. The Thomas More Society is also challenging Amendment 3, arguing it violates state law by failing to disclose what existing laws it would repeal. Both lawsuits come in the wake of Missouri's strict abortion ban following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, with the state now facing multiple legal challenges surrounding reproductive rights on the November ballot. These developments highlight the contentious legal landscape surrounding abortion rights in Missouri, as both sides prepare for significant implications ahead of the upcoming election.
