LANSING, Mich. — The fight over abortion is steaming toward a political resolution across Michigan as activists, policymakers, politicians, providers and would-be-patients eye the Nov. 8 election.
Voters will decide on Proposal 3, which, if approved, would install protections for a woman’s right to have an abortion in the Michigan Constitution.
Kansas voted this year to keep abortion legal. Now Michigan is one of five states, along with California, Kentucky, Montana and Vermont, asking voters next month to weigh in on abortion policy in the wake of the Supreme Court’s June ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. That ruling overturned the court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision and leaves states to set their own abortion policies.
