The newly proposed constitutional amendment would go back to voters in November 2026, or sooner, if Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe calls a special election before then.

Republican senators used a series of rare procedural moves to cut off discussion by opposing Democrats before passing the proposed abortion-rights revision by a 21-11 vote. The measure passed the Republican-led House last month.

Immediately after vote, protestors erupted with chants of “Stop the ban!” and were ushered out of the Senate chamber.

    Bro come on now…

    There was a measure on the ballot specifically enshrining abortion as a right.

    To go against that now is completely ridiculous… The will of the people was to make abortion available in Missouri. Geez

          I see, but I am not right wing. I asked about an apparent contradiction I saw, and got a clear answer.

          I’ve noticed that when I ask questions I tend to get downvotes, but when I make statements I tend to get upvotes. Is there an assumption not only that right wing people are ignorant, but that ignorant people are right wing? I don’t know how to become less ignorant without asking.
