Proposes a constitutional amendment regarding the right to life

HJR 14 proposes a constitutional amendment to Missouri's Constitution that would replace Article I, Section 2 with new language affirming a "natural right to life" for all humans. The key provision explicitly defines "person" to include "every in utero human child at every stage of biological development from the moment of conception until birth." This amendment would require abortion restrictions under Missouri law, as it adds that "nothing in this constitution secures or protects a right to abortion." The amendment will be submitted to Missouri voters in the 2026 general election, with no expected fiscal impact.
