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.
Upcoming Events
Join the ACLU of Michigan for our Abortion Activist Series, where you’ll learn about the barriers to abortion care in Michigan and how you can talk with your lawmaker about expanding access to important healthcare.
