Missouri Abortion Ballot Measure Campaign Draws $1.25M Bloomberg Donation Ahead of November Vote
A campaign opposing Missouri's November ballot measure to reinstate abortion restrictions has raised over $6.5 million, including a $1.25 million donation from Michael Bloomberg reported August 6, 2026. Amendment 3 would repeal the 2024 reproductive rights amendment and reinstate a near-total abortion ban with limited exceptions, while also constitutionally banning gender-affirming care for minors. The measure already prohibits Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care for all ages — a restriction upheld by the Missouri Supreme Court in January 2026. The vote is scheduled for November 3, 2026.
The ballot measure directly affects Missouri Medicaid policy by embedding in the state constitution a prohibition on coverage of gender-affirming care for all beneficiaries, which currently exists under state law and affects managed care benefit design and prior authorization protocols.
