On Sept. 26–27, the Pro-Life Generation returned to Missouri, this time deploying in Springfield as we continued working to pass Amendment 3.
Our Springfield teams knocked on more than 6,000 doors; held hundreds of conversations, including more than 150 pro-life conversations; recorded numerous minds changed, and nearly 100 voter activations, and distributed yard signs.
Combined with our Aug. 29 Kansas City deployment, that is well over 8,200 Missouri doors knocked and nearly 200 voter activations across the two deployments, plus additional results that were not documented.

Those conversations mattered because we found significant confusion at the doors.
Some Missouri voters were getting much of their information from political commercials and were confused about the difference between this year’s Amendment 3 and the Amendment 3 approved in 2024. Once our students explained the distinction and Missouri’s current law, organizers reported that voters changed their initial positions.
Knowing the difference is significant. According to Missouri’s official ballot information, a “yes” vote on Amendment 3 would repeal the pro-abortion provision approved in 2024, allow abortion restrictions with specified exceptions, require parental or judicial consent for minors, and prohibit certain child mutilation procedures for minors.
Our Springfield deployment brought together students from Charles Page High School in Oklahoma and another group from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. For all the high school students and some of the college students, this was their first time knocking on doors, and they left more confident about speaking up for preborn children.
