Proposal 3: Michigan Pro-Lifers vs. Abortion Radicalism

Ann Arbor, Mich. — In the wake of the Supreme Court’s June 24 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a pro-abortion fervor swept through the state of Michigan. Organizers from Planned Parenthood and a group called Reproductive Freedom for All collected signatures for an amendment to enshrine the right to abortion in the Michigan constitution.

Less than a month after the court handed down Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, the organizations had collected 753,000 signatures, almost double the 425,000 necessary to put it up for a vote. Now, it is on the ballot as “Proposal 3.” Michiganders will need to decide whether their state will embrace the most radical abortion laws in the country.
