A new Missouri poll shows growing support for Amendment 3, this fall's ballot measure enshrining a right to an abortion in the state constitution. It even has backing from some Republicans, who still have strong leads in all the races for statewide office.

A new poll from St. Louis University and YouGov reports that 52% of respondents indicated they'd vote for Amendment 3, protecting the right to an abortion in Missouri. St. Louis Public Radio political correspondent Jason Rosenbaum has been following the story. He spoke with Up To Date's Steve Kraske about this support and its implications.
