HJR 105 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a "Right to Abortion Care"

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Missouri that establishes a fundamental right to reproductive freedom, including access to abortion care and contraceptives. It requires the government to prove a compelling interest, such as protecting a person's health based on medical evidence, before it can restrict this right. The amendment also protects individuals from legal penalties for obtaining or assisting with reproductive care and prohibits discrimination against those involved in providing such services. If voters approve the measure, it would become part of the state constitution and override any conflicting laws.
