"Missouri's Ongoing Battle Over Abortion Rights"

TL;DR Summary
Advocates in Missouri are gathering signatures for a constitutional amendment to legalize abortion up until fetal viability, facing opposition from GOP lawmakers who want to make it harder to pass the measure. The proposed amendment would prevent the legislature from restricting or banning abortion before fetal viability, and has garnered significant support and funding. Both sides are racing to gather signatures, with abortion rights proponents relying on volunteers and facing opposition from groups like Missouri Stands with Women. The issue is expected to go before voters in the November general election.
