Summary
The joint resolution would repeal Section 2 of Article I of the Missouri Constitution and replace it with language that declares all humans—including unborn children with a unique DNA code—are "persons" entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It also clarifies that the constitution does not secure a right to abortion or require abortion funding. Voters would decide the amendment in the 2026 election.
