We Can't Trust Michigan’s Extreme Republicans
In 2022, the people of Michigan overwhelmingly voted to pass Proposal 3: Reproductive Freedom for All, a constitutional amendment to enshrine the right to reproductive health care.
But Michigan House Republicans still fought to deny the will of the people, attempting to revoke Proposal 3, uphold the 1931 abortion ban, and even reinstate that ban after its successful repeal.
With a House Majority,
What Will They Try Next?
- Reverse Proposal 3?
- Ban access to IVF?
- Ban access to birth control?
If Michigan Republicans regain control in Lansing, women’s freedom to make their own health care decisions will be under threat.
These extreme candidates will determine the House Majority:
