Mary Elizabeth Anne Coleman, Kathleen Anne Forck, Hannah Sue Kelly, and Marguerite Ann "Peggy" Forrest v. John R…

Summary

The court reversed the circuit court and held that Amendment 3 satisfied Missouri’s constitutional and statutory requirements for placement on the ballot. The court ruled that the initiative petition did not need to identify statutes that might later be declared invalid and that all provisions of Amendment 3 related to the single subject of reproductive freedom. The challenge to the statutory timing for contesting certification was denied as moot because the courts reached the merits in time.
