Constitutional Amendment to Outlaw Abortion and Ban Gender Transition Treatments for Minors
Plain-English Summary
This proposed constitutional amendment seeks to ban most abortions in Missouri, with exceptions for rape, incest, or to save the mother's life. It also includes a provision to ban gender transition treatments for minors, which is currently covered by a state law set to expire in 2027.
What each outcome does
If Amendment 3 passes, abortion would be outlawed in Missouri with limited exceptions, and the ban on gender transition treatments for minors would be enshrined in the state constitution.
If Amendment 3 fails, the constitutional amendment passed in November 2024 that made abortion legal in the state would remain in effect, and the existing statutory ban on gender transition treatments for minors would continue until its scheduled expiration in 2027.
