Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey confirmed the enforcement of a ban on abortions after fetal viability, following a recent ballot measure that enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution. The amendment allows for restrictions post-viability but includes exceptions for health-related cases. The law takes effect on December 5, 2024.
Voters in Missouri approved a constitutional amendment on abortion rights in November 2024, allowing for some restrictions after fetal viability. This decision followed a national trend of states enacting or reinforcing abortion rights amid ongoing legal battles.
