Proposes a constitutional amendment to repeal certain constitutional provisions relating to reproductive freedom

HJR 59 proposes a constitutional amendment to replace Missouri's current Section 36 (which limits reproductive rights) with a new section guaranteeing "The Right to Reproductive Freedom." This amendment would directly affect all Missourians seeking reproductive healthcare, including abortion, prenatal care, and miscarriage management. Key provisions require the government to justify any restriction on reproductive freedom through a "compelling interest" test using the least restrictive means, while preserving exceptions for abortions needed to protect a person's life or health. If approved by voters in 2026, this amendment would become part of Missouri's constitution, altering how reproductive healthcare laws are evaluated.
