#GOTV canvassing for #PropA and #Amendment3 in suburban #StLouis yesterday. Lots of people had already voted (yay!), but lots of ground to cover to see these ballot measures through. You can vote no-excuse early in #Missouri through November 4. Or on November 5 (Election Day).
Voting for these measures would #RaisetheMinimumWage & guarantee paid sick leave (PropA) and #EndTheBanMO, restoring abortion rights in Missouri (Amendment 3) With your support, they can pass!
We’ll say it again, slowly — #Missouri's #Amendment3 has nothing to do with #GenderAffirmingCare for #trans people.
Nothing in the #language of the #amendment addresses #transgender #healthcare, directly or indirectly.

I saw one of these signs yesterday. It's absolute nonsense. No, the Missouri constitutional amendment to restore reproductive rights in the state does not weaken protections from sex trafficking

Huzzah! #Missouri Supreme Court reversed the decision by the circuit judge to strike #Amendment3 from the Nov ballot!
The constitutional amendment to protect reproductive rights in Missouri -- currently one of the most strict in the nation -- remains on the ballot!
NOW VOTE.
A motion was filed Monday after Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft ❌tried to get the #abortion #amendment off of the November ballot.
On Monday, Ashcroft sent a letter to Tori Schafer, a lawyer for the woman who proposed the amendment, 🔥stating that his office has #decertified the Amendment 3 petition for the Nov. 5 ballot.
He claimed that the amendment would be decertified over “serious concern about whether the proposed petition satisfies the legal requirements for adequate notice to the public.”
The amendment, better known as #Amendment3, was ruled invalid Friday by a Cole County judge. ⚠️Judge Christopher Limbaugh ruled that the ballot measure should have included language stating that the amendment would repeal the state’s ban on abortion.
✅Former Missouri Supreme Court Chief Justice Mike Wolff told First Alert 4 that Judge Limbaugh’s ruling was wrong and he expects the state Supreme Court to overrule it.
He said Limbaugh mistakenly applied the rules for an initiative petition seeking to change an existing law and applied them to an initiative petition that seeks to change the state constitution.
“What I am shocked by is that for the first time since our current constitution was enacted 79 years ago, that somebody actually misread this statute and the Constitution to come to this result.
I think it’s a complete misreading of the law,” said Wolff.
✅An appeal of the ruling was filed Saturday afternoon, and it will be heard by the Missouri Supreme Court beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
They knew it would pass. So of course they found a way to keep it off the ballot. #Missouri #Amendment3 https://masto.deluma.biz/@dogzilla/113100621632665740
Two more #states have confirmed that #constitutional #amendments protecting #abortion #rights will go before voters in November
-- while reproductive rights advocates in a third state are headed to court to challenge language summarizing their measure that they call "deceptive and misleading."
1. Late on Tuesday, the #Arizona Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit alleging that activists' description of their abortion amendment on petitions they used to gather signatures was legally insufficient. ✅The decision allows the measure, which would guarantee abortion until fetal viability, to appear on the ballot as #Proposition139.
2. On the same day, #Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen certified that a similar amendment had qualified for the ballot. That proposal, known as Constitutional #Initiative128, would likewise
✅protect the right to an abortion until a fetus is said to be viable outside the womb, which is generally around 24 weeks into pregnancy.
Jacobsen had previously sought to keep the measure from going to voters, but the state Supreme Court late last month rejected a challenge she brought.
3. Meanwhile, in #Missouri, organizers have filed a lawsuit
👉challenging language describing their amendment 👈drafted by Republican Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, 🆘who has repeatedly used the powers of his office to undermine their campaign.
⚠️Ashcroft's summary, which would be postednext to sample ballots at polling places, claims the amendment would permit abortion "at any time of pregnancy" and "prohibit any regulation of abortion," including any laws that might target "anyone who performs an abortion and hurts or kills the pregnant women."
Last year, Ashcroft wrote a similarly 💥slanted synopsis of the amendment 💥that would have appeared on actual ballots but was repeatedly shot down by the courts, including the state Supreme Court, which declined to hear an appeal.
Ashcroft certified the measure, known as #Amendment3, earlier this month.

Did you know that Missouri honors medical cannabis cards from other states? If you have a legit card in your home state it should be good in Missouri, although with the passage of Amendment 3 on Tuesday any person 21 or older can possess up to 3 ounces of cannabis for their personal use.
