On Election Day, voters made Missouri the first state with a total abortion ban after Roe v. Wade to pass a constitutional amendment recognizing abortion as a fundamental right.
By voting yes on Amendment 3, Missouri voters successfully overturned one of the nation's strictest abortion bans, which had prohibited abortion entirely without exceptions for cases of rape or incest.
Missouri's two Planned Parenthood providers filed a lawsuit within 24 hours of Missouri voters approving the amendment, ensuring state compliance with the new constitutional rights.
'Anti-abortion, anti-democracy politicians are going to try to stomp us out,' Mallory Schwarz said, addressing concerns over potential legislative measures to undermine the amendment.
