JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A constitutional amendment that would guarantee abortion rights until viability has officially qualified for Missouri's November ballot. This development comes after supporters of the initiative successfully gathered the required number of signatures to move the measure forward.
The proposed amendment aims to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution, ensuring that individuals have the legal right to access abortion services up until the point of viability. Viability refers to the stage at which a fetus is able to survive outside the womb, typically around 24 weeks of gestation.
