Michael Bloomberg donates over $1M to Missouri abortion PAC

Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York City, has donated over $1 million to a pro-abortion PAC in Missouri.

Key Takeaways:

  • An upcoming ballot initiative in Missouri would let voters overturn pro-abortion Amendment 3, passed in 2024. The ballot initiative would allow laws protecting preborn children to go into effect once again in the state.

  • Michael Bloomberg has donated $1.25M to to “Stop The Ban,” a pro-abortion PAC which opposes the amendment.

  • Bloomberg does not live in Missouri, nor does he own property there.

  • He has repeatedly funded pro-abortion political campaigns across the country.

The Backstory:

In 2024, Missouri voters approved Amendment 3, which made abortion a constitutional 'right,' and it took effect one month later. Some restrictions remained in place, including a 72-hour waiting period, an informed consent requirement, and a requirement that the same abortionist who initially saw the patient for the consultation must commit the abortion.

In June of 2026, however, nearly all restrictions on abortion were overturned.

Lawmakers introduced a ballot initiative, also named Amendment 3, in 2025; this would repeal the constitutional right to abortion in the state of Missouri. The ACLU sued, setting off months of legal wrangling, before the ballot initiative was finally approved.

If Amendment 3 passes, the state will:

  • repeal the constitutional right to abortion;

  • restrict abortions except in cases of "medical emergency, fetal anomaly, rape, or incest;"

  • permit abortions in cases of rape or incest only through 12 weeks of gestation;

  • ban gender transition surgeries for minors, as well as the prescription or administration of cross-sex hormones or puberty-blocking drugs to minors, with an exception for treatments "unrelated to the purpose of a gender transition," along with other changes.

The Details:

ABC 17 reported that Bloomberg gave a $1.25 million donation to “Stop The Ban,” a pro-abortion political action committee (PAC) which opposes Amendment 3. Bloomberg is a notorious real estate investor; he lives in New York City and owns properties around the globe, including in Florida, Bermuda, the Hamptons, and London.

He does not, however, own any property in Missouri.

Bloomberg is a known abortion supporter who has repeatedly funded abortion initiatives in pro-life states. He previously funded the abortion effort in Kansas, giving the largest single donation in a successful campaign to defeat a pro-life amendment. He made similarly sizable donations to pro-abortion efforts in Michigan and Ohio.

In addition to funding political measures, Bloomberg has donated millions to Planned Parenthood. Former Bloomberg employees alleged that he even complained if they became pregnant; one woman in particular said he specifically told her to “kill it,” in reference to her preborn child.

The Bottom Line:

Celebrities and billionaires like Bloomberg have increasingly worked to enact pro-abortion legislation in pro-life states, spending millions to build a culture of death.
