A recent poll conducted by Saint Louis University (SLU) has revealed that Missouri voters are likely to support a ballot measure that would protect abortion rights in the state. The poll, which was commissioned by KTVI Fox 2 St. Louis, surveyed a representative sample of Missouri voters and found that a majority were in favor of allowing abortion in cases of rape, incest, or when the life or health of the mother is at risk.
The poll results come at a time when abortion rights are a hot-button issue in Missouri and across the country. Missouri has been at the center of the national debate on abortion, with lawmakers passing some of the most restrictive abortion laws in the country in recent years. The ballot measure, if approved by voters, would enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution and prevent lawmakers from passing further restrictions on the procedure.
The poll found that 58% of Missouri voters support the ballot measure, while only 31% oppose it. The remaining 11% were undecided. The results suggest that the majority of Missouri voters believe that individuals should have the right to make their own decisions about their reproductive health without government interference.
Advocates for abortion rights in Missouri have welcomed the poll results, saying that they reflect the views of the majority of voters in the state. They are hopeful that the ballot measure will ultimately be approved by voters and help to protect abortion rights in Missouri for years to come.
The poll results are sure to add fuel to the ongoing debate over abortion rights in Missouri, with both supporters and opponents of the ballot measure gearing up for what is likely to be a contentious campaign leading up to the next election.
