I wrote about Missouri Amendment 3's abortion "exceptions" for medical emergencies and fetal anomalies, which will not work and are not intended to. We know that because the legal language has already been tested in and out of Missouri👇

What do your primary care office, a urology clinic where vasectomies are performed and an abortion clinic have in common? They are all outpatient medical facilities currently subject to the same general state healthcare regulations in MO. Facts be facting
Did you know that routine inspections of abortion facilities are currently outlawed in Missouri? A YES vote on amendment 3 requires routine inspections for cleanliness and patient care of abortion facilities, similar to inspections at a doctor’s office or hospital. Vote YES on amendment 3.

If A3 passes, it will make pregnancy considerably less safe in MO. The exceptions written here are difficult to invoke and the conclusion will be the odds of surviving an unexpected complication from a wanted pregnancy will depend on a person's area code. 🧵⬇️
Missouri’s 2026 Amendment 3 would repeal reproductive health protections approved by voters in 2024 and introduce new restrictions. Live coverage starts Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. on the free app: ksdk.smart.link/d5zymqmu0?pa…

Hoskins is outright lying about both current law and what Amendment 3 would do. Parental consent is currently required for minors in Missouri. If Amendment 3 becomes law, abortion will be *illegal* so there will be nothing for parents to consent to.
Did you know a minor child must have parental consent to go to a tanning bed or get a tattoo but not to get an abortion in Missouri? Vote YES on Missouri Amendment 3 to require parents be notified if their minor child wants an abortion. @MORightToLife @herhealthmo @MissouriGOP @nrlc

Here I explain that the purported "exceptions" for rape and incest in the Amendment 3 abortion ban are useless as written and the pro-Amendment 3 campaign isn't even pretending the legislature would do anything to attempt to make them mean anything. Gift link👇

Last week, before Missouri was national news for Sen. Schmitt's embarrassing basketball interrogation, we were national news for MO official's embarrassing election debacle at SCOTUS I wrote about why Republican officials' openly attacking the MO Supreme Court is ominous 👇

This seemed too dishonest and nasty to be real. I figured some rando had put it on Butz’s lawn and it would be gone. Nope, I drove over there yesterday to see for myself.
Replying to @PalPal789 @gcmitts
As a former State Rep Butz knows that gender affirming surgeries for minors are already illegal in MO, that's precisely why this sign is so telling It's not about changing the law- it's about stoking fear and singling out an already vulnerable community for political gain

Butz sometimes says he’s become pro-choice since he voted for Missouri’s ban, other times identifies as pro-life…

Couldn’t believe that the dem who sends mail to my house claiming to be a defender of planned parenthood had these signs up. A3 would reinstate the abortion ban that original A3 overturned. Using trans kids to do it is horrific.
