The Missouri Supreme Court has overturned a lower court decision that would have removed a question on legalizing abortion from the November ballot.

The court heard arguments Tuesday morning and Chief Justice Mary Russell issued a decision a little after 2 p.m. Tuesday. The judges voted by majority to reverse Cole County Circuit Judge Christopher Limbaugh's decision, issued last week.

The court ordered Tuesday that the question should appear on the Nov. 5 ballot.

Amendment 3, which covers abortion, was certified by the Secretary of State's Office after thousands of petition signatures. The initiative petition that was used to get access to abortion on the ballot received over 380,000 signatures.
