Missouri voters reject ballot measure to reinstate abortion ban

Audio narration · Coming soon

Missouri voters have defeated a ballot proposal that would have re-imposed an abortion ban, two years after legalizing abortion in a previous vote. The recent measure also included a ban on transgender treatment for minors, which opponents argued was misleading. This decision reflects ongoing debates in Missouri over reproductive rights and transgender healthcare.
