Linda McKnight of Webb City has already made up her mind that she is voting "no" on the upcoming initiative that, if passed, would lift Missouri's abortion ban.

"I was really surprised—I guess I should not have been—but I was very surprised and very disappointed we are going down that road again," said McKnight.

Since the Supreme Court's 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, nearly two dozen states have implemented bans or restrictions on abortion. Missouri is now one of ten states where voters will decide whether to reverse course.

"It's important for us to realize here in the state of Missouri that Amendment 3 is the most extreme abortion law that would be on the books in the entire nation. More extreme than California, more extreme than New York or Illinois," said Brian Westbrook from Coalition Life.

Opponents of the amendment argue that it goes far beyond merely expanding access to abortion. "It also brings sex change operations for minors without their parents' knowledge or consent," Westbrook added. "It removes all malpractice protections, it removes all zoning, all licensing, all taxation, and it also removes all mandatory reporting."
