JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Supreme Court has ruled that an abortion-rights measure will be on the state’s November ballot. The ruling on Tuesday ensures voters will have a chance to weigh in on whether to restore abortion rights to the state. A group of Republican state lawmakers and other abortion opponents had sued to remove the measure, arguing that voters were not informed about the list of abortion laws it could repeal. The proposed constitutional amendment would guarantee the right to an abortion until fetal viability. Eight other states will consider constitutional amendments enshrining abortion rights.
