Missouri Voters Reject Amendment to Restrict Abortion and Gender-Affirming Care in 2026
Missouri voters rejected Amendment 3 in the 2026 midterm elections, preserving the 2024 constitutional protections for abortion rights. The proposal sought to restrict abortion access to limited cases and ban gender-transition procedures for minors, including puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. The measure was defeated by a narrow margin, reflecting continued voter support for reproductive freedom. This outcome contrasts with other states where transgender medical restrictions were upheld, highlighting varied regional approaches to related social issues.
