Missouri Democrats could take abortion issue to voters. What would it look like?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Bolstered by an August vote that upheld the right to an abortion in Republican-controlled Kansas, abortion rights supporters are considering whether to seek a ballot initiative to restore abortion rights in Missouri.

Abortion is almost entirely banned in Missouri under a law that was triggered after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June.

Missouri voters in recent years have used the ballot box to circumvent the GOP-controlled Missouri General Assembly and pass progressive statewide issues like Medicaid expansion and both medical and recreational marijuana. Now, some Democrats and abortion rights advocates are looking to get an abortion-related ballot measure in front of voters in 2024.
