SJR 107: Repeal of Article I, Section 36
Sponsor: Mike Moon
SUPPORT
Clean rollback of Amendment 3
SJR 107 is a proposed Missouri constitutional amendment that aims to remove the recently-added constitutional "right to reproductive freedom" language that explicitly includes abortion and return Missouri's abortion policy to being governed by statutes rather than a state constitutional right.
What Does This Bill Do?
- Ballot Submission: Puts the repeal of Article I, Section 36 on the ballot for the 2026 general election or a special election called by the Governor.
- Complete Repeal: Removes the constitutional language establishing a "fundamental right to reproductive freedom," which currently blocks pro-life regulations.
- Restores Legislative Authority: Returns the ability to regulate abortion conduct to the General Assembly and the people through statutes rather than locking it in the constitution.
Constitutional or Critical Context
SJR 107 complies with Missouri’s single-subject and clear-title requirements. By removing the "strict scrutiny" framework applied to abortion, it supports efforts to protect preborn children and removes constitutional protections that currently shield abortion providers from legal penalties.
Red Flags & Recommended Amendments
No Red Flags Identified
The bill is a clean, single-purpose rollback measure.
Act for Missouri Recommendation:
Act for Missouri SUPPORTS SJR 107. It is a necessary rollback step that removes a significant constitutional barrier to protecting unborn children and restoring pro-life lawmaking in Missouri.
