Team,
Today, the Supreme Court confirmed what we all knew was coming when a draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was leaked to the press in May.
For nearly five decades, Roe v. Wade has set a legal precedent for reproductive freedom and has protected a woman’s fundamental, constitutional right to make her own medical decisions with her doctor. That right was protected across the country, no matter which state she lived in.
This decision is between a woman, her doctor, her family, and her faith.
Today’s Supreme Court decision on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, leaving states to decide a woman’s right to choose.
In Michigan, there is a dormant 1931 law that makes any abortion a felony (unless done to save the life of the pregnant person). While that law is not in effect, and will not go into effect during an ongoing lawsuit, the right to choose in Michigan still hangs in the balance.
Here is how we can come together to act now to protect reproductive freedom in Michigan right now.
The Michigan Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative is an ongoing effort to put a constitutional amendment on November’s ballot to enshrine in our state’s constitution "the right to make and effectuate decisions about all matters relating to pregnancy, including but not limited to prenatal care, childbirth, postpartum care, contraception, sterilization, abortion care, miscarriage management, and infertility care."
Right now, The Michigan Right to Reproductive Freedom Initiative is collecting petition signatures to put this amendment on the ballot.
