Midwest March for Life to begin at state Capitol Thursday

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Midwest March for Life will take place at the Capitol Thursday morning, as legal battles regarding Amendment 3 continue.

On Wednesday, a Missouri Senate committee approved putting a ballot measure before voters that would overturn Amendment 3.

The full House has already approved House Joint Resolution 73. Voters approved Amendment 3, which established reproductive health care -- including abortion -- as a constitutional right in last November's election.

If the ballot measure to overturn Amendment 3 passes the Senate, the question will be placed on the ballot in 2026.

Thursday's Midwest March for Life rally will begin at 8 a.m. with an opening and Capitol prayer walk, followed by several other scheduled events, including a rally. Those events can be found here.
