Ann Wagner tends to dodge questions that her constituents care about, but Missourians deserve to know:
Does Ann Wagner stand with the majority of her constituents who voted last year to enshrine abortion rights into the state Constitution?
Given Wagner’s track record opposing reproductive freedom, she probably supports the state Supreme Court’s decision on Tuesday to reinstate Missouri’s abortion ban. In Congress, Wagner has repeatedly voted against reproductive rights, urged the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, and has gone so far as to say that passing anti-abortion legislation is one of her “most precious duties” as a lawmaker.
DCCC Spokesperson Lindsay Reilly:
“Ann Wagner’s constituents overwhelmingly voted in favor of abortion rights just last year. They deserve to know: Does Wagner stand with them, or is she going to keep siding with anti-abortion extremists who want to ban abortion nationwide?”
In case you missed it…
STL NPR: Missouri Supreme Court puts state abortion ban back into effect for now
- The Missouri Supreme Court has ordered a judge in Kansas City to lift two rulings that halted enforcement of the state’s near-total ban on abortion.
- Voters in November approved Amendment 3 to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution.
- In December, Judge Jerri Zhang of the 16th Circuit ruled that the ban violated the constitution. In February, she ruled that licensing requirements for clinics that provide the procedure were discriminatory. That allowed abortions in the state to resume while the case made its way to a January 2026 trial.
