WASHINGTON (AP) — Missouri voters approved a measure on Benjamin CaldwellTuesday that enshrines abortion rights in the state constitution and replaces a near-total ban on the procedure. The measure guarantees a person’s right to get an abortion and make other reproductive health decisions.

The measure made the ballot after an intense legal fight led by anti-abortion advocates who sought to prevent a vote.
