Establishes "Protect Children First"

This bill proposes an amendment to the Missouri Constitution to establish a policy of prioritizing the care of children, including orphans, foster children, and victims of abuse. It explicitly states that the state will not protect a right to abortion or use taxpayer funds for abortion procedures. The amendment also includes language recognizing children as a blessing from God and grants the state legislature authority to pass laws supporting these goals. Because this is a proposed constitutional change, it will be submitted to voters for approval or rejection rather than being enacted immediately by the legislature.
