Republican lawmakers in Missouri have passed a referendum aiming to repeal an abortion rights amendment that was approved by voters just six months ago. The new bill would restrict abortions to medical emergencies, rape, or incest, with strict conditions. Despite vigorous protests, the measure may appear on the November 2026 ballot unless Gov. Mike Kehoe calls a special election. This initiative also seeks to prohibit gender transition treatments for minors. The amendment, if passed, would restore significant restrictions on reproductive rights in the state.
