If you regret signing the extreme abortion petition to enshrine the horrendous act of abortion in our Missouri Constitution, ACT NOW to have your name removed. You can only have your name removed BEFORE signatures are turned in, so you must ACT NOW!

This initiative petition will allow abortion for the full nine months of pregnancy – even painful late-term abortions. It will obliterate all of Missouri’s more than 52 pro-life laws protecting unborn children and their mothers, including parental consent for minors, health inspections for clinics, medical licensing for abortionists and even open the door to taxpayer-funded

abortions.

Any voter who has signed an initiative petition may withdraw his/her signature from that petition by submitting to the Missouri Secretary of State (SOS), before the petition is filed with the SOS, a sworn statement requesting that his/her signature be withdrawn and affirming the name of the petition signed, the name the voter used when signing the petition, the address of the voter and the county of residence. It is a class A misdemeanor to knowingly file a false withdrawal statement with the SOS. (RSMo 116.110)

The Process to Withdraw Your Signature

1. Create a Sworn Statement: Draft a written statement that includes the following information:

• The name of the petition you signed

• The name you used when signing the petition

• Your address

• Your county of residence

2. Swear Under Oath: The statement must be sworn under oath. You can do this by visiting a notary public.

3. Submit to the Secretary of State: Send the sworn statement to the Missouri Secretary of State. You can mail it or deliver it in person. Include your contact information so they can verify your identity.

Send/Deliver to:

Missouri Secretary of State

600 West Main Street

4. Timing: You must submit the withdrawal before the petition is filed with the SOS. Once the petition is filed, your signature cannot be removed.

Please let us know if you request your signature be removed: 573-635-5110 or righttolife@missourilife.org. If you have questions or need further assistance, reach out to the Secretary of State’s office directly: 573-751-4936 or info@sos.mo.gov.

Please protect our constitution and defend life in Missouri by declining to sign if you are asked to sign this petition.

Thank You to all who came to lobby your legislators this week at the annual Pro-Life Action Day! 

Pro-Life Missourians turned out at the Randolph County Pro-Life banquet last night to hear guest speaker Ann McElhinney. McElhinney is a NYT best-selling author, journalist, film producer and director and podcast host. She and her husband, journalist Phelim McAleer, have written the NYT best seller, Gosnell- The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer. Ms. McElhinney talked about the success of the Gosnell movie in turning people from the “pro-choice” side to pro-life. She helped the pro-lifers attending understand the pro-life battle in the U.S. and where our challenges are and how we can overcome them.
