A Missouri judge has ruled that a proposed ballot measure to enshrine abortion access in the state Constitution failed to meet the legal requirements for the November ballot, delivering a setback to the campaign seeking to overturn the state’s near-total abortion ban, while still allowing the organization a chance to appeal.

Cole County Circuit Judge Christopher Limbaugh ruled on Sept. 6 that the proposed measure, known as Amendment 3, did not adequately inform voters about the laws it would potentially overturn.
