Jefferson City, Mo. - The Missouri Supreme Court issued their full opinion reversing the Circuit Court’s judgment ensuring that Amendment 3 will remain on the November 5th ballot and rejecting the argument that the amendment violates the single subject clause.
The following statement was issued by Tori Schafer, an attorney for the ACLU of Missouri:
“Today’s opinion from the Missouri Supreme Court was a complete rejection of the anti-abortion politicians' arguments and attempts to subvert our constitutional right to vote to protect reproductive freedom, including access to abortion, birth control, and miscarriage care.
“Additionally, the court agreed that our amendment does in fact cover a single subject, the right to reproductive freedom. We are confident that Missourians will vote in November to end the state’s abortion ban and to protect reproductive freedom.”
