A Declaration from Missouri Healthcare Professionals

We Support Amendment 3

We, the undersigned physicians and healthcare professionals, support Amendment 3. We encourage Missourians to vote for this important measure to restore protections for all our patients.  

As healthcare professionals of all specialties, our primary responsibility is to care for all our patients with excellence, compassion, and integrity. In 2024, the constitutional amendment that passed stripped our state’s women of common sense safeguards and ushered in abortion on demand. Now, we have an historic opportunity to reverse that dangerous amendment and reinstate health and safety standards while ensuring women have access to excellent healthcare.  

The Amendment 3 on the ballot this November will restore the requirement of parental consent before a minor obtains an abortion, the ability of the state legislature to regulate abortion, and allow abortions in cases of rape and incest (under 12 weeks’ gestation), medical emergencies, and fetal anomalies. 

While we may disagree on the extent to which this amendment goes, we can all agree that these reinstituted safeguards are better than the current status of none at all.  

As Missouri medical professionals representing a wide range of specialties and healthcare disciplines, we support Amendment 3 because it is good for Missouri women, children, and families, and it is good for our profession. We urge our fellow Missourians to vote YES on Amendment 3.

Legal challenge seeking to block Va.’s reproductive rights constitutional amendment dismissed

A Virginia circuit court judge dismissed one of two lawsuits challenging the state's “reproductive rights” constitutional amendment, rejecting claims that a procedural error invalidated the measure, though the plaintiffs plan to appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court as the amendment remains on the November 2026 ballot.

While we are saddened by the passage of Amendment 79, and the resultant increased harms to women seeking abortion in our state, the increased deaths to preborn babies, and the multitude of harms to families and our society, we are determined in the importance of our mission as medical professionals to provide life-affirming Hippocratic medicine that women desire and deserve, to be a supportive community around each other in this worthy endeavor, to expand education of the public about the harms of abortion and the dignity and value of the preborn baby, to impact policy to support families, and to mentor and support the next generation of healthcare professionals.  This is only the beginning.
 
Thank you, all who worked so diligently to educate those in your circles of influence, who held events, spoke publicly, wrote opinion pieces and letters, worked through your churches and organizations, and who supported the united mission of Right to Know Colorado in so many ways.  
 
We are convinced that if Coloradans truly knew and understood the truth about abortion, they would not have voted for this harmful amendment.
 
Now, more than ever, medical professionals must come together to do this urgent and critical work.  Because of the certain harms of the passage of the Amendment, more women will need compassionate, life-affirming care, and more women will seek medical professionals who offer true care – not just abortion.  
 
A powerful good that has emerged from our efforts has been the galvanized unity and coordinated efforts of Prolife Colorado’s over 50 prolife organizations, and the emergence of the prolife medical community through AAPLOG CO.  We are well-positioned as we move forward for women, preborn babies, and families.
 
With great expectation we look forward to the impact we will have, as we move into the gap created by the movement of organized medicine from evidence-based exceptional maternity and reproductive care to unrestricted, unregulated abortion access as its penultimate goal.
