My favorite Halloween memory was when I was about 7-8 years old. It was my first time trick-or-treating with an actual Halloween costume. I remember when I was younger my family was pretty poor, nor did we live in the best neighborhood so trick or treating for us was never a thing. Solely because our environment didn’t allow us that luxury nor did we have a car to go anywhere safer. But that year seemed to be different.

On Tuesday, Nov 3, Missouri voters face one of their most crowded ballots in recent years. Here's what to know — and where to get reliable information.

Amendment 3: Endorsed by Governor Mike Kehoe, this amendment would repeal the reproductive-freedom provision previously approved by Missouri voters. Voting “yes” for the repeal would effectively ban abortion across the state, except in cases of medical emergency, rape or incest within twelve weeks, or fetal anomaly. If the repeal is approved, it would remove the right to an abortion in Missouri.  

Voting “yes” on the measure would also entrench statutory bans on gender-transition procedures for minors, creating additional legal barriers across an already hostile landscape in Missouri for transgender youth.
