Fighting for Abortion Access in Michigan

We must undo decades of damage done by politicians who passed state laws– still being enforced today – that push abortion out of reach for many people across Michigan. 

What's at Stake

Michigan voters overwhelmingly passed Proposal 3 in November 2022—enshrining the explicit right to reproductive freedom in our state constitution. But, for too many people, abortion access remains out of reach due to overly burdensome laws that block people from accessing care.
