Missouri’s Amendment 3 would allow some abortions. Whether women could get them is unclear
Supporters say the proposed ban protects women facing medical emergencies and survivors of sexual assault. Critics question whether those protections would work in practice. Missouri's proposed Amendment 3 would allow some abortions, but it is unclear if women could still obtain them. The bill would repeal the state's ban in 2022 and reinstate an abortion ban with exceptions for medical emergencies, certain fetal anomalies and pregnancies resulting from rape or incest within the first 12 weeks. It also includes a constitutional ban on gender-affirming care for minors. Critics argue that these exceptions could be difficult to implement in practice, leaving doctors uncertain about when they can intervene. The first TV ad for Stop the Ban features a mother facing a dangerous pregnancy complication. The proposed language in Amendment 3 is described as an "absolute disaster zone" by abortion expert Molly Duane.
