Missouri SB951 modifies provisions relating to the protection of unborn children by repealing sections that permit willful prenatal homicide or assault. The bill introduces the "Equal Protection Act," which aims to protect the lives of preborn persons with the same criminal and civil laws as born persons. It also seeks to protect pregnant mothers from being pressured to abort. The bill is submitted to qualified voters for approval or rejection at an election in August 2026. If approved by a majority of the votes cast, the act will become effective.
