About Access MO

---

Our Mission

Access Missouri is a nonpartisan political action committee that supports state and local candidates and initiatives that work to maintain and restore reproductive freedom, including abortion access, in Missouri.  

Our Values

Access MO welcomes all groups and individuals whose faiths, ethics, or personal convictions compel them to support reproductive freedom. Inspired by Jewish values shared across many traditions — including human dignity, self-determination, and bodily autonomy — we believe:

• Reproductive rights are fundamental human rights.
• Decisions regarding reproductive health are medical, not political decisions.
• Reproductive rights are economic and racial justice issues.
• The separation of church and state is a fundamental principle of our democracy and no one religion should dictate public policy for all.
• Elected officials who consistently vote for reproductive freedom should have our support.
• Missourians, candidates, and elected officials deserve accurate information about the impact of existing and proposed reproductive healthcare legislation and policy.

Our Vision 

We envision a Missouri where every individual enjoys the freedom to make personal reproductive healthcare decisions without governmental interference. We strive to build a state where comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including access to abortion, is guaranteed and protected, enabling all Missourians to thrive in a healthy, supportive and equitable environment.

• The government should not interfere in personal healthcare decisions.
• The government should not be practicing medicine.
• The government should not force people to remain pregnant and give birth.
• Forcing people to remain pregnant and give birth is unconscionable, cruel, and dangerous.
• Abortion bans tie the hands of doctors.
• Abortion bans replace religious freedom with government control.
• Abortion bans are a slippery slope that put more individual and personal rights at risk.
• Abortion bans infringe on religious liberty.
• Abortion bans violate the First Amendment right to the free exercise of religion and the separation of church and state.
