Proposes a constitutional amendment regarding the right to life

HJR 109 proposes amending Missouri's state constitution to define "person" as including all human beings from conception, explicitly stating this includes "every in utero human child at every stage of biological development." It repeals the current Section 2 of Article I and replaces it with language affirming a natural right to life, while adding that the constitution "secures or protects a right to abortion" or requires abortion funding. The amendment would be submitted to Missouri voters in 2026, with an official ballot question asking if the constitution should "protect each human life with a unique DNA code regardless of age." The bill notes this change is expected to have "no fiscal impact."
