A measure undoing Missouri’s near-total abortion ban will appear on the ballot in November, the state’s high court ruled Tuesday, marking the latest victory in a nationwide fight to have voters weigh in on abortion laws since federal rights to the procedure ended in 2022.
If passed, the proposal would enshrine abortion rights in the constitution and is expected to broadly supplant the state’s near-total abortion ban. Judges ruled hours before the Tuesday deadline for changes to be made to the November ballot.
Supreme Court judges ordered Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft to put the measure back on the ballot. He had removed it Monday following a county circuit judge’s ruling Friday.
The order also directs Ashcroft, an abortion opponent, to “take all steps necessary to ensure that it is on said ballot.”
The asshole who is the governor of Missouri appointed Rush Limbaugh's cousin to the bench, who then promptly tried to kill the ballot measure. I'm surprised that the state supreme court bucked the Christian Taliban party on this, but they did.
