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.
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!
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
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
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!
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!
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!
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
