Reproductive Freedom For All
Pledge to protect reproductive freedom in Michigan.
Safeguarding reproductive healthcare, including the right to an abortion, is core to the ACLU of Michigan mission. Since our founding more than 60 years ago, we have employed every tactic possible to protect this fundamental right. Our unwavering commitment continues today. The ACLU of Michigan, with our coalition partners, launched the statewide ballot campaign, “Reproductive Freedom for All,” to protect the reproductive rights of all Michiganders, including abortion access. This is one path we are pursuing to stop political interference with personal decisions about reproductive healthcare for individuals and families.
Our proposal is filed with Michigan’s Board of State Canvassers, and would amend the state Constitution to explicitly affirm Michiganders’ fundamental right to reproductive freedom, which includes making and carrying out your own decisions about abortion, birth control, miscarriage care, prenatal care, childbirth, and other reproductive healthcare services. More than two million people could lose abortion access if a ban goes into effect. Historically disenfranchised communities that already face obstacles to reproductive healthcare, specifically Black people, people of color, poor people, and those living in rural areas, would be hit hardest. We must protect this fundamental right for all Michiganders.
We need you to join the movement: pledge to protect reproductive freedom today, and we will reach out in the coming weeks to share the next steps you can take.
