Abortion will be on the ballot in Missouri in November, after the state Supreme Court ruled that a measure aiming to overturn the state’s abortion law may remain on the ballot.
The Tuesday ruling from the Show Me State’s high court came days after a lower state court ruled the ballot measure did not qualify to be placed on the ballot because it did not follow state law in its signature process. The brief order from the Missouri Supreme Court ordered Missouri Secretary of State John Ashcroft to certify the measure for the ballot, a day after he decertified the measure based on the earlier court ruling.
