Pro-life groups are turning to Missouri's Republican-controlled state legislature, where Amendment 3 is expected to dominate the agenda in January. State Representative Justin Sparks is poised to lead efforts to counter the new law.

"I'm doing this because I'm convicted that I must do this," Sparks said. "I prayed about this and considered it prayerfully, and I believe I am called to do this."

Sparks plans to challenge presumed House Speaker Jon Patterson, who previously stated that lawmakers should respect the voters' decision. Sparks, however, believes voters were misled.

"The voting public only sees 50 words on the ballot," Sparks explained. "After people voted, interviews showed overwhelmingly that most people thought Amendment 3 was about contraception, in vitro fertilization, or ectopic pregnancies. Most had no idea that we were talking about unrestricted, taxpayer-funded abortion."

If elected Speaker, Sparks plans to propose legislation to put new restrictions on abortion back on the ballot within two years. "We would identify specific legislation to tackle Amendment 3, completely deconstruct it from our constitution, and replace it with a guiding framework that would outlaw abortion in Missouri again," he said.
