The Missouri Supreme Court is considering whether an abortion-rights amendment will go before the state's voters this year.
Man in custody after hours-long standoff on North Side, SAPD saysA vehicle passes in front of the Missouri Supreme Court building on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024, in Jefferson City, Mo., in advance of oral arguments on whether an abortion rights constitutional amendment should be removed from the general election ballot. – Missouri's Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday over whether an abortion-rights amendment should go before voters this year.
Voting on the polarizing issue could draw more people to the polls, potentially impacting results for the presidency in swing states, control of Congress and the outcomes for closely contested state offices. Missouri Democrats, for instance, hope to get a boost from abortion-rights supporters during the November election.
Lawyers for the plaintiffs wrote in a court brief that Missouri's abortion-rights campaign “defrauded potential signers by failing to disclose any of the many, many provisions” of Missouri law it proposes to repeal, including the state's current ban.
