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.

JEFFERSON CITY, MO. – Her Health, Her Future, the campaign supporting Amendment 3 on Missouri's November ballot, announces two additions to its senior staff. James B. Lawson will serve as Campaign Manager, and Amanda Sanders will serve as Communications Director.

Lawson most recently served as Deputy Chief of Staff to Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway. He previously served as Chief of Staff to former Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey. Lawson is currently on a leave of absence from the Attorney General's office to lead the campaign.

"I'm honored to lead this campaign at such a critical moment for Missourians," said Lawson. "Late-term abortions and gender experiments on children are not Missouri values. I'm proud to lead a team that's committed to defending what Missouri stands for, and we're not backing down from this fight. Missourians will not be fooled — and this November, they'll show it at the ballot box."

Sanders will lead the campaign's communications team. Sanders is a communications professional and long-time pro-life, pro-family advocate with more than 17 years of combined experience in outreach, policy, public affairs, and advocacy. She has worked with organizations and offices including the U.S. House of Representatives, the Office of the Texas Attorney General, and Concerned Women for America.

"Missouri is the Show-Me State, and this campaign is about showing voters the truth of what Amendment 3 really means," said Sanders. "It's about banning radical sex-change interventions on children and protecting unborn life and the health and safety of women. I've spent my career advancing pro-life, pro-family policies, and I'm proud to bring that experience to support passage of Amendment 3.”

Founded in 2025, the Her Health, Her Future PAC is leading a statewide coalition of Missouri’s pro-family organizations in support of the passage of Amendment 3 this November. For more information, visit www.herhealthherfuture.com.
