Missouri’s top court on Tuesday ruled that a proposed abortion rights amendment to the state constitution will appear on the ballot in November.
The decision will allow voters to decide whether to restore legal abortion in Missouri for the first time in more two years.
The state enacted a “trigger” law in 2022 which effectively banned abortion, following the US Supreme Court’s decision to strike down federal rights.
Missouri joins more than a dozen states that will vote on abortion rights at the same time as choosing the next president in November.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
