Defines "person" in relation to the equal protection of laws

Source-provided summary

SJR 72 - This constitutional amendment, if approved by the voters, modifies the equal protection provision of the Missouri Constitution to define "person" as every human being with a unique DNA code regardless of age, including an unborn child. Nothing in the Constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or the funding of an abortion. This constitutional amendment is identical to SJR 8 (2025) and HJR 89 (2024).
