The newly proposed constitutional amendment would go back to voters in November 2026, or sooner, if Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe calls a special election before then.
Republican senators used a series of rare procedural moves to cut off discussion by opposing Democrats before passing the proposed abortion-rights revision by a 21-11 vote. The measure passed the Republican-led House last month.
Immediately after vote, protestors erupted with chants of “Stop the ban!” and were ushered out of the Senate chamber.
Missouri really hates democracy, this isn’t even the first time they’ve gone to great lengths to overturn the will of the people.
I’m beyond amazed that legalizing marijuana passed. And and the law is in effect now
Cannot believe that abortion didn’t get the same treatment but what the fuck did I expect living in this state??
I voted at all my local elections man this ain’t my fault. Doesn’t need to be said but yeah I voted for the Dems
So much for politicians working for their constituents. 🙄
They work for the party and moneyed interests
Just as a reminder:
Right before the ballot was to be printed, Justice Limbaugh (Nephew to THAT Limbaugh) ruled that the petition circulators did not tell people signing the abortion rights petition that enacting the law would lead to children being able to get sex changes without parental consent; ergo the amendment should be thrown out due to deception.
The petition leaders then went to the Missouri state supreme court arguing that they didn’t mislead people by omitting information about sex changes as the amendment was ONLY about abortion right. The state supreme court agreed, the ballot got printed, the amendment passed and then the state republicans refused to implement it because: “we don’t want our children getting sex changes without our consent.”
String them up. No seriously, string them up. The only good fascist is one that has been deleted.
When are people going to get tired of bullshit like this? If I lived there, I’d be in the senate chamber fist fighting these dickwads.
This state is fucking bullshit and I’m glad I got a vasectomy
