AN ABORTION CAN BE LEGAL—AND STILL IMPOSSIBLE TO GET.

Missouri voters face a critical choice on Amendment 3—a measure framed as a safety regulation, but written to systematically strip away reproductive rights.

Just two years after Missourians voted to enshrine abortion rights in our state constitution, Amendment 3 seeks to repeal those protections.

While its supporters point to limited exceptions, the fine print tells a very different story: Amendment 3 is designed to make legal abortion practically impossible to obtain.

The fundamental shift lies in how healthcare facilities are regulated. Today, any state restriction on pre-viability abortion care must 1) serve a genuine health interest, 2) align with accepted medical standards, and 3) use the least restrictive means possible. In short: "safety rules must be based on medical evidence."

Amendment 3 strips away that evidence requirement. It hands lawmakers broad authority to pass targeted restrictions—often called TRAP laws (Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers)—under the guise of "patient safety."

We already know how this plays out because Missouri has lived it. Under the proposed text, regulations "shall include, but not be limited to":
🔸Hospital Admitting Privileges: Forcing physicians to maintain local hospital privileges—a rule that previously shut down the Columbia clinic in 2015.
🔸Excessive Facility Licensing: Imposing architectural and operational demands that do nothing for patient safety, but impose crippling compliance costs designed to force clinics out of business.
🔸Mandatory Exams & Restrictions: Mandating unnecessary physician-conducted procedures and ultrasound limitations.

By the time Dobbs was decided, these exact types of regulations had systematically eliminated care until only one clinic remained in the entire state of Missouri.

The amendment boasts exceptions for r**e, in**st, and health emergencies—but limits them with strict cutoffs and narrow definitions.

An exception on paper means nothing if there is no doctor left to provide the care, no clinic open to perform the procedure, and no accessible facility within hundreds of miles.

Furthermore, because the text specifies that regulations "shall not be limited to" this list, politicians can continuously add new mandates such as waiting periods, repeated in-person visits, and administrative hurdles—without ever having to produce a single piece of medical evidence to justify them.

Rights on paper do not guarantee care in reality. Amendment 3 uses regulatory red tape to achieve what voters previously rejected: a total functional ban on abortion in Missouri.

Protect real access to reproductive healthcare. Vote NO on Amendment 3.

❌ Proposition A: WSUM Urges a NO Vote

Missouri voters will decide whether to adopt the congressional map lawmakers passed in 2025.

WSUM does not endorse candidates or political parties, but we do take positions on issues that affect Missourians. On Proposition A, our position is NO.

🔎Why we're voting NO

🔸Representation and partisan balance: In the 2024 presidential election, Democrats received 40.1% of Missouri's vote. They currently hold 2 of the state's 8 congressional seats (25%). The 2025 map has been described as designed to favor Republicans in 7 districts and Democrats in just 1 (12.5%). Congressional seats aren't allocated by statewide presidential vote percentages, but the comparison illustrates the potential disparity.

🔸 Kansas City communities: The 2022 map already divides Kansas City among three congressional districts. The 2025 map substantially changes those boundaries, shifting communities among districts and significantly redrawing the Kansas City–based 5th District, stretching it halfway across the state.

🔸 Mid-decade redistricting: Missouri's Constitution calls for congressional districts to be drawn following each 10-year census. The 2022 map followed the 2020 census, but lawmakers passed a replacement map just three years later, without a new census.

🗳 What your vote does

🔴 NO rejects the 2025 map and keeps the 2022 map in place. Lawmakers could still propose another map in the future.

🔴 YES adopts the 2025 map for future congressional elections, beginning with the regularly scheduled 2028 general election, unless the map is changed.

❗Important: The 2022 congressional map will be used for the November 3, 2026 general election regardless of Proposition A's outcome. This vote determines whether Missouri adopts the 2025 map for future elections.

Vote on or before November 3. Plan ahead and make your vote count!

7 DAYS TO VOTE. YOUR VOTE SHOULD BE THE FINAL SAY.

Amendment 6 is about something every Missouri voter should care about: Who gets the final say—voters or lawmakers?

We don’t have to agree with our legislators on everything. But they should RESPECT OUR VOTE.

Maybe you agree with most of their decisions. But what happens when they pass a law you strongly oppose—or refuse to act on an issue you care about?

Missouri’s Constitution gives citizens another option through the initiative petition process: gather signatures, put an issue on the ballot, and LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

But what happens when lawmakers overturn that decision?

It happened in 2025. Missouri lawmakers repealed the paid sick leave law that voters had approved just months earlier.

That’s where Amendment 6 comes in.

It would stop lawmakers from overturning citizen-approved laws on their own. To change or repeal one, they would first need at least 80% approval in both the House and Senate just to put the proposed change on the ballot. Then voters would decide whether to approve it.

Amendment 6 would also require ballot summaries to be clear, fair, and unbiased, so voters can better understand what they're voting on.

Our legislators represent us. Not the other way around. And voters should have the final say.

WHAT WOULD AMENDMENT 3 MEAN FOR WOMEN’S ACCESS TO REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE?
Amendment 3 would repeal the constitutional protections for reproductive healthcare that Missouri voters approved in 2024, including the right to abortion through fetal viability.

In their place, it would generally limit abortion to medical emergencies, pregnancies resulting from r**e or in**st no later than 12 weeks’ gestation, and fetal anomalies that make survival outside the womb impossible.

Amendment 3 would also authorize lawmakers to regulate abortion providers and clinics, making it harder for clinics to operate and for patients to obtain care, even when an abortion is legally permitted.

Although the amendment expressly protects access to miscarriage treatment, ectopic pregnancy treatment, and other emergency care, its medical-emergency exception is narrower than the current constitutional protection for a patient’s life or physical or mental health.

The central question is how these changes would affect patients’ ability to obtain timely medical care.

DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE?

Under the 2022 congressional map, nearly all of Kansas City is within the relatively compact 5th Congressional District.

Proposition A would change that dramatically, dividing much more of Kansas City among three congressional districts that stretch far beyond the metro area.

Instead of keeping communities together, the proposed map redistributes Kansas City voters in an effort to help Republicans gain an additional seat in Congress.

That's not about keeping communities together.
That's not about fair representation.
THAT'S A POWER GRAB.

Missourians deserve districts that make sense and respect communities — not maps drawn to benefit a political party.

❌ Vote NO on Proposition A to reject the unfair 2025 congressional map.

10 DAYS TO VOTE! KNOW WHAT'S ON YOUR BALLOT.

On November 3, Missourians will decide five statewide ballot issues. These choices could affect our voting rights, healthcare, taxes, and local government for years to come.

After weeks of studying these issues, We Stand United Missouri makes the following recommendations:

❌ PROPOSITION A — Congressional Districts
Lawmakers redrew Missouri's congressional map in 2025, years before the next census. It splits Kansas City into three districts.
A NO VOTE rejects the new map and keeps the current districts.

❌ AMENDMENT 3 — Reproductive Healthcare
Missouri voters approved constitutional protections for reproductive healthcare in 2024. Amendment 3 would repeal those protections and sharply limit access to abortion. It would also put a ban on gender-transition procedures for minors into the Constitution, although Missouri law already bans these surgeries for minors.
A NO VOTE would preserve the reproductive healthcare rights voters approved in 2024 and leave current restrictions on gender-transition procedures unchanged.

✅ AMENDMENT 6 — Protecting Voter-Approved Laws
Missourians can gather signatures to put laws directly before voters. Amendment 6 would protect those laws from being changed or repealed by lawmakers without another public vote. At least 80% of both legislative chambers would have to agree to send proposed changes back to voters. It would also protect the petition process and allow courts to correct misleading ballot summaries.
A YES VOTE would strengthen voters' rights and protect voter-approved laws from legislative interference.

❌ AMENDMENT 7 — State Investment Fund
This proposal would create a permanent state investment fund with the goal of eventually replacing state taxes with investment earnings. It has no guaranteed funding source or deadline for eliminating taxes. Its success would depend on investment returns, which can rise and fall.
A NO VOTE would reject this plan and its financial risks to future funding for schools, roads, and other public services.

❌ AMENDMENT 8 — County Sheriffs
Missouri law already requires sheriffs to be elected every four years. Amendment 8 would put that requirement and other sheriff duties into the Constitution, making them harder to change. It would also give only the state Attorney General the power to start court proceedings to remove a sheriff, taking that authority away from local prosecutors.
A NO VOTE would keep these rules under state law and preserve local prosecutors' authority to ask courts to remove sheriffs for misconduct.
