Defines person in relation to the equal protection of laws

What it does

The legislature's own summary of the bill, or its official long title.

SJR 8 - This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, modifies the equal protection provision of the Missouri Constitution to define "person" as every human being with a unique DNA code regardless of age, including an unborn child. Nothing in the Constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or the funding of an abortion. This constitutional amendment is identical to HJR 89 (2024).
