March for Life draws large anti-abortion crowd to Missouri Capitol

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

The annual March for Life took place in Missouri's capital city on Thursday, with scores of people from Missouri and elsewhere rallying against legalized abortion.

The event took place as Republican lawmakers and officeholders work to overturn Amendment 3, which was approved by voters last November and enshrines abortion rights into the Missouri Constitution.

A resolution in the Senate would put a question on a future ballot to overturn Amendment 3 and severely limit abortions statewide. The House has already approved the measure.

"Missourians, we're not finished, you know, we are going to do everything that we can to offer help and hope to these moms who find themselves in an unplanned pregnancy because that's what it's all about," said organizer Kathy Forck.
