A coalition of abortion rights advocates launched an effort to put a measure on the ballot in the 2024 elections on Thursday asking voters to enshrine abortion rights into the Missouri Constitution.

The organization Missourians for Constitutional Freedom has until May to collect over 170,000 signatures from registered voters for the amendment language to be added to the November ballot.
