Senate Minority Leader Doug Beck speaks against a proposed constitutional amendment banning abortion during debate in the Missouri Senate on Monday evening.

In November 2024, Missouri voters approved the Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative, which would legalize many abortions in the state. In the following months, judges and lawmakers have worked to block the initiative or even overturn it. Anna Spoerre, reporter for the Missouri Independent, joined Ozarks at Large's Matthew Moore to discuss the latest.
