US EditionMissouri Judge Again Blocks Many of the State's Anti-Abortion Laws
- A lawsuit filed on November 3, 2026, in Cole County seeks to block the proposed abortion ban from Missouri's ballot scheduled for that date.

- The ballot measure, known as HJR 73, aims to overturn Amendment 3, which voters approved in November 2024 to establish abortion as a constitutional right in Missouri.

- If allowed on the ballot, the ban could reverse reproductive rights voters secured, indicating ongoing legal and political conflict over abortion access in Missouri.
