Today’s election was the first time this new U.S. citizen got to cast her vote. It was a surreal experience as I got to mark the box for a constitutional amendment that I helped to shepherd. Career highlight! Let’s do this Michigan! #YesOn3 #ReproductiveFreedom

FREEDOM IS ON THE BALLOT
Michiganders should have the freedom to make their own decisions about parenthood, pregnancy, and abortion. No matter how we feel about abortion, no one should be forcing beliefs on other people or be able to interfer with this deeply personal decision.

[Bonsitu Kitaba-Gaviglio @BonsituK]

Legal analysis from esteemed scholar on constituonal rights and federal courts @LeahLitman: “Abortion bans and abortion restrictions therefore jeopardize pregnant persons’ health and safety…” A MUST read to learn how Proposal 3 will save lives in Michigan!

[Leah Litman @LeahLitman]

Given the questions (and misinformation) that have arisen about Prop 3 (the MI Reproductive Freedom For All ballot initiative), I prepared a short white paper on what Prop 3 would & wouldn't do. https://t.co/n2HgOrMcBe

[Bonsitu Kitaba-Gaviglio @BonsituK]

Powerful op-ed by the fabulous Cynthia Ford talking about her personal experience supporting a friend obtain an abortion before the passage of Roe. Unfortunately we face those dark times again if we don’t vote Yes on Proposal 3. #VoteYeson3 #RestoreRoe https://t.co/1m6FpKGl7u

[Bonsitu Kitaba-Gaviglio @BonsituK]

It was a pleasure to speak at @UMichLaw this week on the important relationship between voting rights and reproductive freedom. Our power is really in our hands when we cast our vote and mobilize for the issues we care about. Get engaged, make a plan to vote this November!

[Michigan Law School @UMichLaw]

Today at #UMichLaw: Professor Ellen Katz, @BonsituK, and @RepDebDingell spoke about protecting voting rights in Michigan and across the nation.

[Bonsitu Kitaba-Gaviglio @BonsituK]

Justice prevailed today! Reproductive freedom made it to the Michigan ballot! Here we go #YesOn3 until November!! Paving the way to restoring #Roe and protecting access to the full spectrum of reproductive health needs of millions of Michiganders!

[Bonsitu Kitaba-Gaviglio @BonsituK]

Reproductive Freedom for All is going to restore Roe and enshrine reproductive freedom in our constitution! We have the will of the Michigan people behind @mireprofreedom!! Let’s do this!

[The Downballot on Bluesky: @the-downballot.com @downballotnews]

Wow. New poll from EPIC-MRA shows amendment to enshrine abortion rights into the Michigan constitution passing by a giant 67-24 margin. (Gretchen Whitmer also up 50-39 for #MIGov) https://t.co/g7x4TMQpwb
