Proposes a constitutional amendment establishing provisions relating to reproductive health care
HJR 63 proposes a constitutional amendment in Missouri that would restrict abortion access except in cases of medical emergencies, rape, or incest (with abortions for rape/incest limited to 12 weeks and requiring police reports). It prohibits public funding for abortions and bans gender transition surgeries, cross-sex hormones, or puberty-blocking drugs for minors under 18 (except for medically necessary treatments). The amendment explicitly protects access to care for miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and other medical emergencies. It also requires physicians to report abortions performed for rape/incest to law enforcement within 48 hours. The amendment would be submitted to voters in 2026 for adoption or rejection.
