An election board in the US state of Michigan has approved a request to put a proposal guaranteeing abortion rights before voters in the November midterm elections, in the latest battle over abortion in the United States.
A record number of signatures were gathered in support of leaving it up to voters to decide on the proposal, which would amend the state’s constitution to enshrine reproductive rights. The election board’s decision on Friday followed a ruling by the state’s Supreme Court the day before.
