“Pt. III,4a - Abortion Action Missouri Foundation (AAMF) envisions a world with stigma-free abortion access and reproductive freedom for all; our mission is to foster and sustain the Midwest movement for reproductive freedom. Over the past 50 years, AAMF has advocated about matters regarding contraceptive access, access to emergency contraception in emergency rooms, access to Title X family planning services, the harm of anti-abortion fake clinics - AKA unregulated pregnancy centers, the landscape of sex education in Missouri, and a host of other topics related to reproductive health and rights. With the fall of ROE v Wade in June 2022, Missouri became the first state to implement an abortion ban. In 2024 our primary mission was the advancement of The Right to Reproductive Freedom initiative to end Missouris abortion ban at the ballot box. The Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative enshrines the right to abortion, birth control, miscarriage care, prenatal and postpartum care, respectful birthing conditions, and the right to other reproductive health care in the state constitution. The passage of this amendment provides a legal pathway to challenge both Missouris abortion ban and the myriad TRAP laws that forced providers to cease providing abortion care. Abortion Action Missouri Foundation had a thriving field team in 2024 who were an instrumental part of our deep canvass program, the Abortion Conversation Project, speaking to thousands of supporters about what the fall of Roe means to them, and why abortion access is a critical part of the fight for your fundamental rights. The organization helped to organize media campaigns and wrote op-ed pieces and editorials in support of every individuals right to decide if, when, how, and with whom to start or grow their family, and provided briefing papers to community leaders, stakeholders, and the public. In conjuction with the local and national partners, the organization hosted three Fellows to conduct a review of policies at the local level in three municipalities across the state. AAMF also worked in close partnership with labor partners to advance an effort to increase the Missouri minimum wage and guarantee earned sick leave for workers, as part of our intersectional approach and understanding that abortion access is tied to the economic stability of individuals, families, and communities. For almost 40 years, the organization has provided trained clinic escorts at two local medical clinics. These volunteers act as a physical barrier between patients and hostile anti-abortion protesters at clinics that provide reproductive health care,including abortion. In 2024, AAMFs signature clinic escort program held 19 trainings and had more than 300 active clinic escorts on its rosters. The organization is committed to being an anti-racist organization supporting and lifting up the voices of all those most disproportionately impacted by the dangerous abortion ban now in place. With more than two dozen organizational allies, all working for the health and safety of Missouri women and families, we sought to protect individual rights and the rights of families, worked with faith-community allies, and organized against anti-abortion attacks.”
