Western District Rules for Unregulated Abortion
Judges in the Western District of Missouri just ruled that the State of Missouri cannot enforce any abortion regulations while Planned Parenthood’s lawsuit proceeds.
We’ve covered this case before.
As soon as the 2024 Abortion Industry Amendment passed, Planned Parenthood and the ACLU sued to invalidate ALL health and safety regulations on abortion facilities.
Those regulations include:
- – building codes
- – hospital admitting privileges
- – the requirement that only physicians perform abortions
- – and the ban on providing abortions over Zoom.
Now, the Courts seem poised to give Planned Parenthood everything it wants.
We have some serious problems in our courts.
Missouri’s courts are more likely to rule for Liberals and against Conservatives in ballot measure cases.
Judges are unaccountable to the voters.
In this case, there’s one clear fix: vote yes on Amendment 3 in 2026.
The Abortion Industry Amendment is bad law that came out of a hopelessly broken initiative petition process.
It’s hopelessly vague.
We can’t count on the Western District of Missouri when it comes to abortion.
To restore health and safety protections, we need to change the law.
Amendment 3 guarantees women’s medical care in emergencies, women’s safety during abortions, parental consent for minors seeking abortions, and bans child sex change surgeries.
Missourians agree that health and safety laws shouldn’t stop at the doors of the abortion clinic.
We have a responsibility to protect the women and children of this state.
The courts won’t do it for us.
To restore health and safety protections, vote Yes on Amendment 3.
