HJR 28 would—upon voter approval—amend the Constitution of Missouri to declare the following:
If passed, this resolution would be submitted to the voters at the next general election to be held in Missouri in November, 2020, or at a special election to be called by the governor.
The amendment would effectively ban abortion—and possibly even birth control pills, IUDs, and emergency contraception. In addition, it would eliminate certain medical choices for women, including some cancer treatments and in vitro fertilization, and might lead to investigation and prosecution of pregnant people who miscarry to determine if their own actions caused the death of the fetus
