Backed by the group Missourians for Constitutional Freedom, the measures would amend the Missouri Constitution to declare that the “government shall not infringe upon a person’s fundamental right to reproductive freedom.” That would include childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion services, and miscarriage care.
Eleven versions of a proposed initiative petition seeking to roll back Missouri’s ban on abortion by adding protections for the procedure to the state constitution were filed Wednesday with the Secretary of State’s office.

..."The 11 proposals also drew the ire of those who oppose abortion.
Sam Lee, a long time anti-abortion activist and director of Campaign Life Missouri, said any of the proposals submitted Thursday would “enshrine in Missouri’s Constitution the most radical, far-reaching pro-abortion provisions of any U.S. state – including California or New York.”
The next step is for the Secretary of State’s office to accept public comments on the 11 proposals. A summary will be written and supporters can begin gathering signatures to place the issue on the 2024 ballot."
