WASHINGTON (AP) — Missouri voters approved a measure on Tuesday that enshrines abortion rights in the state constitution and replaces a near-total ban on the procedure.
The measure guarantees a person’s right to get an abortion and make other reproductive health decisions. It opens the door to legal challenges of a ban on most abortions that took effect immediately after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
The measure made the ballot after an intense legal fight led by anti-abortion advocates who sought to prevent a vote.
Will this matter when the republican majority in senate, house and presidency can pass a law making it illegal?
No, it will not matter. The national abortion ban will override this.
Nope. Federal law is binding in all 50 states
Yeah this is real funny.
Like whatever the states say is gonna matter. Americans are so… I dont even know what to say anymore lol…
Wasn’t the whole premise of the supreme court over turning roe v wade that the states should be allowed to decide? Not that I think they’ll stop at hypocrisy I just think it should be pointed out.
