Bill > SJR28

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to be submitted to Missouri voters at the next general election in November 2026 or at a special election called by the governor. The proposed amendment would add a new section to Article I of the Missouri Constitution specifically addressing reproductive rights. The key provision clarifies that the right to reproductive freedom does not protect individuals, businesses, or corporations from potential civil legal actions related to medical malpractice, negligence, or wrongful death. In other words, while the amendment appears to affirm reproductive rights, it simultaneously ensures that healthcare providers can still be held legally accountable for potential medical errors or harm in reproductive health care services. The resolution is designed to be placed on the ballot for voters to decide whether to adopt or reject this constitutional amendment.
