Abortion-rights advocates asked a judge on Monday to rewrite what they call misleading descriptions of several constitutional amendments on abortion that voters could see on Missouri’s 2024 ballot.
Missouri is among several states, including Ohio, where abortion opponents are fighting efforts to ensure or restore access to the procedure following the fall of Roe v. Wade last year.
In part, one of the Missouri petitions would amend the state’s constitution to ban government infringement on the “fundamental right to reproductive freedom, which entails the right to make and carry out decisions about all matters relating to reproductive health care.”

I still don't, and never have, support(ed) abortion as a form of birth control. Now, that being said, I DO and will always continue to support a woman's access to proper medical care in regards to abortion or other reproductive measures. I'm realistic enough to realize carrying a baby to term for the purpose of adoption is not always a viable option for women. Neither is keeping a baby that she is physically, financially, or emotionally prepared to rear. I would rather there be unrestricted access to properly trained and certified abortive services BUT emphasize programs that would make abortion unnecessary by preventing unwanted pregnancy in the first place. Sorry Religious Right, but "abstinence only" programs has proven to be a dismal failure.

Decisions on abortion, birth control and childbirth are some examples of reproductive care protected under the proposed amendments."...
