When Missouri on Tuesday became the first state to overturn a near-total abortion ban by the vote of the people, Desiree White cried happy tears. Twenty-five years earlier, she and her husband chose to terminate a pregnancy they very much wanted after they received a diagnosis of a fatal fetal abnormality.

Missourians voted to reverse the state’s strict abortion ban in the Nov. 5 election. Here’s when Amendment 3 will take effect.

The voters have spoken in Missouri, and abortion is once again legal in the Show-Me State. Amendment 3, which reverses the state’s abortion ban, narrowly passed with 51.9% voting “yes” and 48.1% voting “no,” according to the Associated Press. In total, 1,534,399 voters approved the amendment, and 1,424,781 opposed it—a difference of 109,618 votes.
