In this article we will be covering Amendment 3 of 2024 in Missouri, Amendment 3 in 2026, which was passed out of the General Assembly as House Joint Resolution No. 73, and Senate Joint Resolution No. 8, and the differences in each.

First, last year in 2024; Missouri was lied to by Planned Parenthood and their allies.

They deceived Missourians into thinking that Amendment 3 really didn’t say everything that it said.

Today, you can currently find that text in pages 18 and 19 of the Missouri State Constitution, which passed by about 95,000 votes which just so happens to be the same number of Missouri State regulations in total, according to the Kansas City Star.

In the PDF link, these will be pages 24 and 25.

This is Article I, Section 36, which is titled, “The Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative”.

There are 8 numbered sections to this part of the State Constitution.

Section 1 is the title.

Section 2 says, “The Government shall not deny or infringe upon a person’s fundamental right to reproductive freedom.”

Section 3 says, “The right to reproductive freedom shall not be denied, interfered with, delayed, or otherwise restricted”. “Any denial, interference, delay, or restriction of the right to reproductive freedom shall be presumed invalid.”

Section 4 says, “the general assembly may enact laws that regulate the provision of abortion after Fetal Viability provided that under no circumstance shall the Government deny, interfere with, delay, or otherwise restrict an abortion that in the good faith judgment of a treating health care professional”.

Section 5 says, “No person shall be penalized, prosecuted, or otherwise subjected to adverse action based on their actual, potential, or alleged pregnancy outcomes, including but not limited to miscarriage, stillbirth, or abortion. Nor shall any person in exercising their right to reproductive freedom with that person’s consent be penalized, prosecuted, or otherwise subjected to adverse action for doing so.”

Section 6 says, “The Government shall not discriminate against persons providing or obtaining reproductive health care or assisting another person in doing so.

Section 8 says, “Fetal Viability, the point in the pregnancy when, in the good faith judgment of a treating health care professional…there is a significant likelihood of the fetus’s sustained survival outside the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures.”

That’s the highlights of what is CURRENTLY law in Missouri’s State Constitution.

Notice it twice says, “treating health care professional”.

Notice too how it’s all about reproductive freedom, but doesn’t once mention, “woman” in any derivative of the word.

Instead, it mentions “pregnant person” at the end of Section 4.

Moving on we have House Joint Resolution No. 73 (HJR73), which is what the general assembly was willing to pass in both chambers, which means it’s now been placed on the ballot for voters to approve.

This IS the text for Amendment 3 in 2026.

That is HJR 73.

If passed, this would undo about 95% of the wrongs that the abortion industry got Missouri to pass in 2024.

It does NOT, however, say anything to do with the newest and most common way of doing abortions in Missouri and throughout the Nation.

That is chemical abortions.

A young mother takes two sets of pills and is able to pass her baby while at home.

That is murder in the bathroom and flush down the toilet.

This is a very excruciating way, which can be deadly to the mother a greater percentage of the time than the clinical counterpart, which isn’t nearly as private.

Chemical abortions now account for at least 63% of all abortions, which are also harder to track and prevent.

The overall adverse events can be as high as 20% of the time these chemical abortions are being done.

That’s one in five chemical abortions.

You can read more about those dangers here.

Amendment 3 of 2026 in Missouri does nothing to attempt to stop this supermajority and private way of conducting abortions.

It only targets clinical abortions, which are now the minority.

That wasn’t the only thing our legislators missed.

They know that life begins at fertilization, but sadly they want to demonize certain classes of the unborn.

These are: “cases of medical emergency, fetal anomaly, rape, and incest.”

Section 2 allows for “rape or incest”…no later than twelve weeks gestational age” but for the first half of the first trimester it would still be considered legal to kill these.

Here is what God the creator has to say about cases of rape and incest”.

Deuteronomy 24:16: “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.”

Ezekiel 18:20: “The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.”

In these two scriptures, we can clearly see that you’re only responsible for your own sins.

And when speaking of rape and incest, we can clearly see that these are sins of the father in both cases.

As ugly as rape and incest are, I wouldn’t wish them on my worst enemies.

But God in his holiness says.

You know what, I’m going to put something beautiful in that very ugly situation.

Now that’s something you and I would never dream of doing.

But God treasures all of us, no matter how small or how we were conceived.

In Section 12, line 5, “Medical emergency” is discussed only to speak about “ectopic pregnancy” and “miscarriage”, neither of which IS an abortion by anyone’s definition.

So basically, someone didn’t know what they were doing by including this section.

Not to mention, fetal surgeries (surgeries on the baby still inside mom) should be discussed, but isn’t.

One positive of this piece of legislation that were voting on in November of 2026, is that it ensures we won’t be allowing any gender transition surgeries for minors, as long as this passes.

And finally, there was an option on the table to pass a clean version that would recognize ALL of the unborn babies, equally.

That is Senate Joint Resolution No. 8 (SJR8), which you can read here.

Quote, “That the term “person” under this constitution includes every human being with a unique DNA code regardless of age, including every in utero human child at every stage of biological development from the moment of conception until birth.”

This was proposed by State Senator Mike Moon.

So while I encourage everyone to vote yes on the Constitutional Amendment 3 in Missouri in 2026; it’s not perfect and is not the final solution to the crisis at hand.

But our cowardly, super majority of Republicans in the General Assembly were not willing to pass the better of the two options or both.

Therefore, that’s the only option the public has to work with, unless you want to take it through the initiative petition process.

On a separate issue, we have to reestablish a Culture of Life.

Together we can Make Missouri ProLife Again.
