Hell yeah. A high profile issue to drive liberal turnout.
- The first thing I did after posting this was to see if MO was anywhere near being in play for POTUS.
  
  This’ll help but I’m guessing not enough to flip the state. Still should help down ballot elections.
  
  Missouri is more purple than people realize. They often vote against their own interests nationally, but locally they vote relatively progressive
  
  I definitely don't expect the Bible thumping deep south to flip, hell im not even sure i expect this ballot measure to pass. but the down ballot races will definitely be where it helps
Wow. Never expect any kind of positive news from Missouri anymore.
- It's why we must always fight these battles rather than just giving in to doom. Battles that seem hopeless can sometimes surprise you
Overturning the decision by Clay County Judge Chris Limbaugh (yeah, a cousin of that other Limbaugh).
- Yeah, there's a whole enclave of them down there in Pleasant Hill.
  
  We don't go to Pleasant Hill anymore.
- Appointed by the right wing governor of course.
No paywall

Anti-abortion groups had tried to block the measure by arguing that proponents of the ballot measure had failed to meet constitutional requirements that the people who sign ballot-measure petitions be fully informed of the proposal’s legal ramifications.

I expect their argument would be that people can never be "fully" "informed" unless they decide abortion should be banned. What twatffles.
- No paywall
  
  It was already a gift link…
  
  Really? I got a paywall when I opened it.
- I feel bad for the people who signed the petition but didn't get informed that abortion might get unbanned! So underhanded! /s
Time for the standard AG overreach and have him just take the measure off the ballot again.
