In these weeks leading up to the election, you are probably experiencing a constant barrage of negative ads and political flyers filling your inbox.
I don’t want to add to that noise, but my conscience and PCC’s mission compel me to draw your attention to an item on our Missouri ballot that is actually life or death: Amendment 3, known as “The Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative”.
Using the deceptive term “reproductive freedom” in its title, this constitutional amendment would transform Missouri from a pro-life state into one of the most radically pro-abortion states in the country.
You can read the entire amendment here, but below are some of its most concerning points:
- It enshrines a “right” to abortion into the state constitution.
- It legalizes abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.
- It allows for taxpayer-funded abortion.
- It removes all parental consent and notification laws.
- It could require PCC to refer for abortion due to our small amount of state funding.
- It prevents women from taking legal action if they are harmed during an abortion.
- It prohibits the state from setting medical and safety standards for abortion.
Our team at PCC is all too familiar with the devastating consequences of abortion for women, men, and babies. And we can only imagine the tragic cumulative effect of unregulated, unrestricted abortion here in our state.
PCC is not a political organization, so we do not engage with campaigns. But we can advocate for issues aligned with our mission.
And that’s why we are asking you to encourage your friends, family members, church groups, and neighbors to protect women, men, and their babies by rejecting Amendment 3.
Our votes carry tremendous weight, and so do our prayers. Please join us in praying that our fellow citizens will choose to embrace a culture of life that recognizes the dignity and sanctity of all Missourians, including the unborn.
No matter the outcome, we know that God remains on His throne, and that He will continue to guide PCC as we extend compassion, hope, and help to young families in our community.
Thank you for investing in our mission to save lives and strengthen families, and please vote on November 5th.
Blessings,
Executive Director
