State Protections
On November 5, 2024, voters approved Amendment 3 recognizing reproductive freedom, including abortion care, as a fundamental right in Missouri. The Missouri Constitution now reads, “The Government shall not deny or infringe upon a person’s fundamental right to reproductive freedom, which is the right to make and carry out decisions about all matters relating to reproductive health care, including but not limited to prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, birth control, abortion care, miscarriage care, and respectful birthing conditions.”
Restrictions
On June 18, 2026, the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri struck down a series of abortion restrictions, finding they violated Amendment 3 of the Missouri Constitution. This allows providers to provide medication abortion for at-home use and to continue giving procedural abortion care. However, the Court upheld the physician-only law and an in-person requirement, which requires patients to come to a clinic in person to confirm gestational age and rule out an ectopic pregnancy before an abortion.
Missouri has not repealed other laws related to abortion. Missouri retains a gestational ban after viability. Missouri law asserts that life begins at conception. Missouri also prohibits D&X procedures. State law includes prohibitions on public funding, and private insurance. The state continues to require that a parent, a legal guardian, or a judge consent to a minor’s abortion. If a parent consents, that parent is required to notify the other parent.
A Missouri trial court held unconstitutional the mandatory seventy-two-hour waiting period, biased counseling requirements, and targeted regulation of abortion providers (TRAP) laws related to facilities, admitting privileges, and reporting. Missouri law continues to restrict the provision of abortion care to physicians and allows providers to prescribe medication abortion to patients for at-home use after an in-person visit.
Despite the recent Constitutional amendment protecting the right to abortion, two Missouri lawmakers filed legislation challenging that amendment and criminalizing abortion. If passed, the law would declare the voter-approved abortion amendment “null and void.” In November 2026, there will a ballot measure to repeal the 2024 constitutional amendment that voters approved to protect reproductive freedom.
