Slate: Missouri Abortion Ballot Switcheroo Might Backfire

Despite "clever" ballot language . . . There's a growing hint that more voters might push back against Missouri Republican tactics. 

Here's a national political mag hyping that talking point from the DNC . . . Check-it: 

What is happening in Missouri is still a sign about the limits of ballot measures. Missouri Republicans already have crafted a new ballot measure that voters will face, most likely in 2026. The proposal asks Missourians whether they want to “ensure women’s safety during abortions,” “ensure parental consent for minors,” and “allow abortions for medical emergencies, fetal anomalies, rape, and incest.” It would ban all abortions from fertilization in every other case—a fact that it doesn’t advertise. For good measure, it also asks whether voters want “to protect children from gender transition,” even though gender-affirming care for minors is already illegal in the state. That voters adopted Amendment 3 less than a year ago is doing nothing to dissuade the state GOP.

The ballot effort may fail. Republicans in other states have a poor track record when they ask voters to make it harder to pass ballot measures. If politicians ignore a result that voters just reached, that might not be popular either.
