ACLU of Missouri

Today in the Supreme Court of Missouri, we joined our friends Lambda Legal and BCLP to fight a discriminatory ban that prevents Trans Youth from accessing care only because of their transgender status.

“Missouri’s bans violate fundamental constitutional rights that protect all Missourians,” said Nora Huppert, Senior Attorney at Lambda Legal. “This law invades the private relationship between patients, their families, and their doctors, denying transgender people access to safe and effective medical care. The Missouri Constitution protects the autonomy and equal rights and opportunity for all people, and this law falls short of those principles.”

"Missouri's discriminatory ban singles out and denies transgender people access to lifesaving medical care in violation of their constitutional rights," said Gillian Wilcox, Director of Litigation at the ACLU of Missouri. "In addition to ignoring the consensus of established medical associations and evidence-based findings, this law strips parents and families from making private decisions with their doctors and gives the government the final say in who will receive care and what type of treatments."

Abortion care remains available and accessible in Missouri.

Yesterday, we stood with Planned Parenthood Providers to defend abortion access from the Gov. Kehoe's handpicked Attorney General, Catherine Hanaway. The AG continued her predecessor's efforts to overturn the will of the people.

We asked the court to block the state's ban on medication abortion care, which is the most common form of care nationwide, to make it available and accessible for Missourians.

Breaking: With our friends at and , we are defending the voter-approved constitutional amendment in two separate courts against the unelected Attorney General’s attempt to reinstate the total abortion ban while we demand access to medication abortion care.

Politicians in our state are gathering to silence Missourians by gutting the citizen ballot measures and illegally gerrymandering Kansas City at the request of elites in Washington D.C.

Call, testify, and join the fight to stop politicians from silencing Missourians and consolidating our power for their own use.

As Governor Kehoe, President Pro Tem O'Laughlin, and Speaker Patterson cower to demands from Washington D.C. to further gerrymander our state, Missourians will be left with diminished representation, disenfranchisement, and even more divisive politics. This is a power grab to subvert democracy and is wrong for Missouri.

HJR 73, which will appear on the ballot as Amendment 3, is the anti-abortion politicians’ attempt to deceive voters and reinstate Missouri’s abortion ban. We will continue to fight these unconstitutional attempts to overturn the will of the people.
