Just as a reminder:
Right before the ballot was to be printed, Justice Limbaugh (Nephew to THAT Limbaugh) ruled that the petition circulators did not tell people signing the abortion rights petition that enacting the law would lead to children being able to get sex changes without parental consent; ergo the amendment should be thrown out due to deception.
The petition leaders then went to the Missouri state supreme court arguing that they didn't mislead people by omitting information about sex changes as the amendment was ONLY about abortion right. The state supreme court agreed, the ballot got printed, the amendment passed and then the state republicans refused to implement it because: "we don't want our children getting sex changes without our consent."
