Amendment 3

With just days remaining in the 2025 legislative session, unfinished Republican priorities include addressing Amendment 3 and Proposition A.

The committee passed the resolution on a party-line vote. It now goes to the full Senate.

The appeal came right after Gov. Mike Kehoe signed a bill that gives the attorney general the right to appeal temporary pauses against state laws or constitutional provisions.

A newly enacted law allows the attorney general to challenge temporary injunctions, a move inspired by a pending abortion-rights case.

Alexis McGill Johnson spoke at a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood Great Rivers in Clayton.

The resolution now heads to the Missouri Senate. If it passes the legislature, it must receive voter approval to go into effect.

The resolution, if passed by the Senate and then by voters, would repeal the abortion rights currently in Missouri’s constitution that were approved by residents in November.

The legislation also gives the attorney general the ability to appeal preliminary injunctions on ongoing cases.

In addition to passing the budget, a Missouri House committee is slated to advance a proposed constitutional amendment that overturns parts of Amendment 3, which enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution.

The provider announced Friday staff had begun offering some abortions, but the state had rejected a plan that would allow doctors to dispense abortion medications.
