Amendment 3: Stop the Ban

VOTE NO

STOP POLITICIANS FROM BANNING ABORTION.

Protect the reproductive freedom protections approved by Missouri voters and keep politicians out of personal medical decisions.

WHAT IS AMENDMENT 3?

A proposal that would overturn the reproductive freedom protections approved by Missouri voters.

In 2024, Missouri voters approved the Right to Reproductive Freedom Amendment, ending the state’s near-total abortion ban and protecting the right to make personal decisions about pregnancy with a doctor. Amendment 3 would overturn those protections and once again allow politicians to ban abortion in nearly all cases.

Amendment 3 asks voters to reverse a decision they already made at the ballot box. Missouri Jobs with Justice Voter Action believes families—not politicians—should make personal medical decisions and that the will of Missouri voters should be respected.

We oppose Amendment 3 because families and doctors—not politicians—should make personal medical decisions.

What’s at Stake:

Voter-Approved Rights

WHY IT MATTERS

Missouri Voters Already Made This Decision

In 2024, Missouri voters chose to protect reproductive freedom by approving a constitutional amendment that restored abortion rights and protected personal medical decision-making. Amendment 3 asks voters to undo that decision.

Families and doctors—not politicians—should make decisions about pregnancy, abortion, and reproductive health care. Amendment 3 would return that authority to politicians in Jefferson City.

Amendment 3 would repeal reproductive freedom protections that extend beyond abortion. The voter-approved constitutional amendment also protects reproductive health care including birth control, prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, and miscarriage care.

That’s why Missouri Jobs with Justice Voter Action is urging Missouri voters to vote NO on Amendment 3.
