Proposes a constitutional amendment establishing provisions relating to reproductive health care
HJR 47 proposes a constitutional amendment that would restrict reproductive health care in Missouri if approved by voters. It limits abortions to cases of medical emergencies, fetal anomalies, rape, or incest (with a 20-week gestational limit for rape/incest cases requiring a police report), bans public funding for abortions except in those cases, and prohibits gender transition surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty-blocking drugs for minors (with medical exceptions). The amendment also clarifies that reproductive freedom does not exempt providers from liability for medical malpractice. This would directly affect all Missourians, healthcare providers, and public funding for reproductive services. The proposal requires voter approval in 2026 to become part of the state constitution.
