Missouri abortion vote campaigns raise millions in donations
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 00:32 · Archive
Both sides of Missouri's Amendment 3 abortion debate have raised millions in donations ahead of the November vote.
Both campaigns for and against Amendment 3 have spent millions of dollars on advertising and grassroots efforts ahead of a November election. Missourians will vote on whether to repeal a 2024 voter-approved amendment that provides reproductive healthcare rights including abortion through fetal viability. A 'yes' vote would repeal that amendment and instead allow abortions only in cases of rape, incest and medical emergencies within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, whilst ensuring parental consent for minors' abortions and prohibiting gender transition procedures for minors.
Her Health, Her Future, which supports Amendment 3, reports raising more than $5 million, mostly from in-state donors. The political action committee was formed last month. Amanda Sanders of Her Health, Her Future said all funding is going to direct voter outreach. Stop the Ban, which opposes Amendment 3, reports more than $27 million in donations as of this week's financial reporting deadline, nearing the $30 million spent to support the 2024 abortion ballot measure.
The wording of the amendment may not be final. If lawyers appeal again, the matter can go to the Missouri Supreme Court.
