Things are about to get interesting in the Missouri general election…amendment 6 to overturn abortion bans
https://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/petitions/2024BallotMeasures
On November 5th, we will not only vote for a president, attorney general, and senator, we are also voting to amend the state constitution.
One of the biggies: ensuring that only legal US citizens can vote in this state. Wish that had gone on the 2022 ballot before a presidential election year……
The other biggie is this: Amendment 6.
Amendment 6 was put on the ballot shortly after primary elections. Read the fair ballot language: they added that if a death occurs to a pregnant woman during an abortion it would be equally acceptable and not punishable. Who in the hell thought this up?? That is medical malpractice they are trying to circumvent!!!!
If you are a Missourian, visit the website above and read up on all the amendments. There are a few super sketchy ones.
My cynicism is showing. This looks like an issue that the Left would really get behind. Especially if they get to kill not only the babies, but the mother as well. Talk about advancing the agenda! Was this put on the ballot now to give more incentive for Democrats to go to the polls this year? Despite the hype, I have heard enthusiasm on that side of the fence is kind of tepid right now. As if it needs to be said, they want to kill us.
I live in Missouri so I read em.
the minimum wage/paid sick time amendment looks good EXCEPT for exempting government and schools from the rule. it's almost like someone stuck that language in to get the vote shot down.
no chance in hell I'd vote yes for any amendment codifying pay and benefits for law enforcement officials, especially both past and present.
gaming commission? fuck them being in the constitution. like the sheriffs, they can get money by the "free" market. they should have no control over regulation.
the malpractice protections in the abortion amendment shouldn't exist for ANY type of medical practitioner performing ANY procedure.
for the citizen-only voting, that amendment is rather poorly worded and should be a line-item instead of including a ban on ranked choice voting and using vague language which could eliminate all but one independent candidate during Party primaries...
not really a good spread. most of that crap should be legislation and not constitutional amendments.
