Missouri Republicans were able to swiftly overturn abortion rights and paid sick leave using an uncommon procedural move, sparking outrage from Democrats and advocates who say the legislature has ignored the will of the people.

In November 2024, Missouri voters passed two major ballot initiatives: Amendment 3, which reinstated abortion rights lost after the fall of Roe v. Wade, and Proposition A, which guaranteed paid sick leave for over 700,000 workers, the Missouri Independent reported.

Both passed with strong support across party lines, with Proposition A earning 58% of the vote. Since their passage, conservative lawmakers have worked to undermine or reverse the measures, citing economic concerns and ideological opposition.

      As you’ll see if you actually read my comment, it’s about idiots arguing a republic is not a democracy. I’m very much aware of the state of things.
