PROTECTING REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM

After the overturn of Roe v. Wade  in June 2022, Missouri House Democrats helped advance and subsequently defend a citizen-initiative petition to put the restoration of reproductive rights to a statewide vote.  Despite fielding every legal challenge and administrative snarl opponents could manifest, voters decided in November 2024 to amend the state constitution to secure reproductive rights for Missourians. 

​

Now, however, the Republican supermajority is working to undermine or even completely erase those protections in any way they can. ​

​

House Democrats are deeply committed to bodily autonomy, to leaving health care decisions up to health care professionals, to a person's right to choose.
