Story. A ballot battle settled. What this decision really says today is that we deserve to be on the ballot tonight. Reaction to the ruling putting the future of reproductive rights in Missouri in the hands of voters. Good evening everyone. I'm Kelly Jackson. Mike Bush has the week off. The Missouri Supreme Court announced today. Amendment three will appear on the November ballot just one day after. It was decertified by Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft, five size Laura Barski has reaction tonight from both sides of the issue. Laura Kelly, this proposed amendment has been challenged five times in the legal system at this point. There's nothing else opponents can do to keep it off the ballot. It will truly be up to the voters. The reproductive freedom initiative petition got more than 380,000 signatures which is beyond the requirements to get it on the November ballot. It's now known as Amendment Three. It says the government shall not deny or infringe upon a person's fundamental right to reproductive freedom. It gives the Missourians and their families the ability to make decisions about reproductive freedom and their reproductive rights and it ends the state's total abortion. And so that's what Amendment Three will do. A group of anti abortion activists and Missouri state legislators brought a lawsuit against the initiative saying people who signed the petition didn't really know what they were signing and it was too vague because it didn't specify the laws. It would overturn a lower court judge agreed and said it should be taken off the ballot. Then Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft decertified it, which led to an appeal to the Missouri Supreme Court there. Mary Katherine Martin said this in court Tuesday. It is a strict violation of the constitution, not reveal that it will repeal the ban on the Missouri Supreme Court reversed the ruling and ordered the amendment be placed on the ballot. What this decision really says today is that we deserve to be on the ballot. The people deserve to make this decision for themselves. State Senator Mary Elizabeth Coleman said this in a statement following the Supreme Court order. This Missouri Supreme Court turned a blind eye and ruled Missourians don't have to be fully informed about the laws their votes may overturn before signing initiative petitions. Secretary Ashcroft also released a statement saying, quote, I am disappointed in today's court ruling and curious to read the opinion to see how they came to that conclusion. I would encourage every Missourian before they vote to read the actual text of this amendment. Attorneys for Missourians for constitutional freedom say they're expecting even more legal challenges if the amendment passes in November, Kelly. Thanks.
