Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City, is donating to protect Missouri’s radical pro-abortion amendment and defeat an amendment in November that would overturn it.
The amendment effectively invalidated the state’s near-total abortion ban, which only allowed abortion when allegedly necessary to avoid the mother’s death or “substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function.”
This summer, a judge cited the amendment to strike down several pro-life laws, including the in-person dispensing requirement that had banned mail-order abortion pills.
Thirteen states ban most abortions starting at conception; another five ban it at around six weeks, with additional states imposing a range of later restrictions.
Pro-abortion state constitutional amendments have been one of the abortion lobby’s most potent tactics to preserve abortion “access” without Roe v. Wade.
