HJR 30 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment that prohibits abortion after fetal viability, except in cases of medical emergency

HJR 30 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban most abortions after fetal viability (when a fetus can survive outside the womb with medical support) in Missouri, except to preserve the life of the pregnant person or prevent serious health risks. It directly affects pregnant individuals seeking abortion care and healthcare providers who perform such procedures. The amendment defines "medical emergency" as conditions requiring immediate abortion to prevent death or serious, irreversible harm. If approved by voters, this would override existing abortion restrictions in Missouri's constitution. The bill is currently in committee review and requires voter approval before taking effect.
