• “Right now, Missouri has a total abortion ban, even for survivors of rape and incest. Women in Missouri can’t receive abortion care, even if their health is at risk. The decision of whether or not to have an abortion is a personal choice that should be made by Missourians, their families, and their health care providers – not politicians in Jefferson City.  Passing this amendment will end our state’s total abortion ban and make sure Missourians and their families can make the decisions that are right for them.” - Missourians for Constitutional Freedom 
  

• “Right now in Missouri, abortion is banned, patients are being turned away from emergency rooms, and doctor’s hands are tied by politicians. This amendment is about making sure pregnant Missourians get the care they need without delay or restrictions. A yes vote ends the abortion ban so that Missouri patients, families, and doctors can make personal and private decisions about pregnancy and abortion care, without politicians interfering.” - Mallory Schwarz, Executive Director, Abortion Action Missouri 
  

• “Voting YES on this amendment ends Missouri’s extreme, cruel abortion ban. Amendment 3 is crucial for restoring fundamental rights and ensuring that all Missourians have access to reproductive health care. This is about safeguarding our freedoms and protecting the health and dignity of every person in our state so that decisions around abortion, birth control, and miscarriage care are left up to patients and their families – not politicians.” - Tori Schafer, Director for Policy and Campaigns, ACLU of Missouri 
  

• "Amendment 3 gives Missouri voters the opportunity to overturn the current strict abortion ban and restore reproductive freedom in our state. Missouri currently bans abortion at all stages of pregnancy, with no exceptions for rape, incest or the health of the mother. I think a large majority of Missouri voters oppose that extreme ban and will vote Yes on 3." - Marilyn McLeod, President, League of Women Voters of Missouri 
  

• “Missouri’s women have been placed under the harshest abortion restriction in the nation, and have lost their fundamental rights. Amendment 3 provides a path to freedom.” - Hirsh Joshi, Legal Fellow, Freedom From Religion Foundation 
  

• “Amendment 3 supporters want the term “reproductive freedom” inserted into the Missouri Constitution, paving the way for gender transition surgeries for minors without parental consent and men in women’s locker rooms, in addition to taxpayer-funded abortion for any reason in the 7th, 8th and 9th months of pregnancy, all permanently enshrined in the Missouri Constitution.” - Missouri Stands With Women 
  

• “This proposed amendment to our state constitution is an extreme proposal that would allow full-term abortion with no protections for the preborn child, including when the child is capable of feeling pain. The proposed amendment would effectively eliminate common-sense state regulations that have protected Missouri women for years. These include health and safety requirements for abortion clinics; the requirement that only a medical doctor be allowed to perform abortions in the state; and that parents of a minor be notified before she can have an abortion. Amendment 3 would allow for unregulated abortions until viability–approximately six months into a pregnancy. After viability, the proposed amendment would create a broad mental health exception that a healthcare provider could exploit to allow abortion in the 7th, 8th, or 9th months of pregnancy. Amendment 3 would also prohibit any type of penalty for someone who assists a person in “exercising their right to reproductive freedom”. This broad protection would prohibit women and families from suing an abortion provider who harms them.” - Catholic Bishops of Missouri  
  

• “If a “right” to abortion is enshrined in our Missouri Constitution it would allow abortions to be performed on pregnant minors without notice to or consent from the minor’s parents. f our Missouri Constitution is amended with a “right” to abortion, abortion will be allowed for “physical or mental health” for all 9 months from conception to live birth. Missouri health and safety standards for abortion clinics would be gutted if this amendment passes. Its language would even allow some unlicensed persons to perform or induce abortions. Our Missouri Constitution is our state’s supreme (highest) law and governing document. Our pro-life laws in more than sixty sections of the Revised Statutes of Missouri will be eliminated by enshrining a “right” to abortion in our Missouri Constitution. A woman’s ability to seek criminal prosecution/civil penalty of any person who performs/assists/provides support to induce/ seek/obtain an abortion will be eliminated. If abortion is enshrined as a “right” in our Missouri Constitution, your legislator will be unable to refuse to appropriate funds to abortion providers.” - Missouri Right to Life 
  

• A pro-abortion measure is on the ballot Nov. 5 in Missouri. It’s titled “Right to Reproductive Freedom.” It’s important that Missouri Baptists understand the threat this measure poses to unborn life, and the responsibility we shoulder to stand for life on Election Day. A “no” vote means that Missouri’s current pro-life laws would remain on the books. Missouri has historically been a leader in the pro-life movement, with strong laws that reflect the value we place on life at all stages. A “yes” vote supports amending the Missouri Constitution to provide the right for “reproductive freedom,” prevents the state Legislature from enacting any law to protect the preborn prior to “fetal viability,” and allows late-term abortion if keeping the child would affect the mother’s “mental health.” - Missouri Baptist Convention 
  

• “It will strip away parental rights by removing the requirement for parental consent and could force Missouri taxpayers to fund the barbaric practice of abortion with their hard-earned dollars.” - Nick Myers, Chairman, Missouri Republican Party
