Missouri's Attorney General says abortions after fetal viability will stay banned, despite a new amendment legalizing them.

Missouri's Republican Attorney General Andrew Bailey stated that abortions after fetal viability remain illegal, despite a new constitutional amendment enshrining abortion rights. The amendment, taking effect December 5, allows restrictions on abortions post-viability, but Bailey says his office will continue enforcing the ban, with exceptions for health reasons. Bailey also plans to uphold a law requiring parental consent for minors seeking abortions.
