I’m personally pro-life, but I don’t want to force my views on others. Why should I vote for Amendment 3?

Amendment 3 isn’t about forcing beliefs—it’s about protecting innocent human life. Just as laws protect children after birth, this amendment ensures children before birth are given the same protection. It reflects compassion, not coercion.

Doesn’t Amendment 3 ban all abortions, even in difficult cases?

No. Amendment 3 makes clear exceptions in tragic circumstances such as rape, incest (within the first 12 weeks), and for the life of the mother. It balances protecting life with compassion in heartbreaking situations.

What about women facing serious medical complications—will doctors still be able to help them?

Yes. Nothing in Amendment 3 prevents doctors from acting to save a mother’s life. Physicians will continue to provide the care women need. What this amendment does is stop elective abortion being used as birth control.

Isn’t it extreme to make abortion illegal after 12 weeks in most cases?

Not at all. By 12 weeks, a baby has a heartbeat, fingers and toes, and can respond to touch. Most Missourians agree it’s reasonable to protect life at this stage. Amendment 3 reflects both science and compassion.

I’m worried Amendment 3 will hurt women. Isn’t access to abortion about women’s health?

Real women’s health is about safe pregnancies, prenatal care, and support—not ending the life of a child. Amendment 3 protects women by requiring abortion facilities to meet health and safety standards, while promoting alternatives and support for mothers.

Will women who have abortions be punished under Amendment 3?

No. Amendment 3 targets the abortion industry, not women. Women are often pressured or misled into abortion. They deserve compassion and healing—not punishment.

How does this amendment affect families dealing with tragic diagnoses like disabilities?

Every child deserves a chance at life, regardless of challenges. Amendment 3 protects children with disabilities from being singled out for abortion and encourages support for families instead of pressure to end a pregnancy.

Why not leave this up to individual choice?

Every choice has limits when another life is at stake. We don’t allow someone to harm a newborn, and Amendment 3 recognizes that unborn children deserve the same protection. True freedom never comes at the expense of another’s life.

Missouri already has pro-life laws. Why is Amendment 3 necessary?

Our current protections are under attack in the courts. Amendment 3 secures them in the Missouri Constitution, so judges or politicians can’t simply undo them. It’s the strongest safeguard we can give the unborn in Missouri.

How can I help support Amendment 3?

First, vote Yes on Amendment 3 when it’s on the ballot. Second, talk with your friends and family about why protecting life matters. Finally, join us—support Her Health Her Future with your prayers, your time, and your donations. Every bit helps us spread the truth and defend life across Missouri.

Hospitals Across the Country Are Backing Away from Procedures for Minors

May 20

Written By Nathan Scott

A growing number of hospitals across the United States are stepping back from providing gender-related procedures to minors. Reports now indicate that more than 40 hospitals and health systems have paused or ended these programs. For years, families were told these practices were unquestionable. Now, the reality looks very different.

A Nationwide Pullback Is Underway

This is not isolated. Dozens of major medical institutions are changing direction at the same time. Hospitals do not abandon programs without cause. These decisions follow closer examination, increased public awareness, and growing concern from parents. When this many institutions begin stepping away, it points to something deeper.

The Story Families Were Given Is Breaking Down

Parents were assured that these procedures were safe, necessary, and backed by strong evidence. That message is no longer being presented with the same certainty. Medical systems are taking a second look at what was once promoted with confidence. Long-term outcomes, risks, and safeguards are now being taken more seriously. Families are seeing that what was presented as settled is now being reconsidered.

Children Should Not Bear the Risk

Children are still developing in every way. Procedures that alter that development carry permanent consequences. Parents understand that children need time, support, and guidance. They should not be placed on a path toward irreversible medical decisions during childhood. As hospitals step back, it reinforces what families have been saying. Children need protection.

Missouri Can Set the Standard

Missouri does not need to follow uncertainty. Amendment 3 establishes clear, lasting protections by prohibiting puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and gender transition procedures for minors. It sets a firm standard rooted in protecting children and supporting families.

A Clear Direction for the Future

Across the country, institutions are rethinking decisions that affect children in lasting ways. Families are paying attention. Her Health Her Future is committed to protecting children, supporting parents, and ensuring Missouri leads with clarity and conviction. Now is the time to act and protect the next generation.
