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.

      If you look at how the Missouri GOP works they will sandbag any campaign to vote against the repeal, run ads saying a yes vote is a vote for women’s rights actually and muddy the waters so much that voters don’t know what to do and either vote inadvertently for the wrong thing or stay home because they aren’t sure and then the evangelicals will bus people directly from church to the polls and the repeal will squeak by.

        That has always been their modus operandi. Every single time. They run a campaign claiming to do the opposite of what it will do. The abortion ban was about protecting women. Etc
