Reproductive Freedom
The ACLU works to ensure that every person can make the best decision for themselves and their family about whether and when to have a child without undue political interference. Through litigation, advocacy, and public education, we strive to ensure that every person has the opportunity to make a real decision and the ability to get the care they need. Our work focuses on a range of issues, including protecting access to affordable contraception, protecting a person’s ability to make personal, private decisions about pregnancy and abortion, and fighting pregnancy discrimination.
The ACLU of Michigan works in coalition with organizations across the state to promote proactive reproductive health care policies. Most recently, we took a lead role in mounting and passing Proposal 3 of 2022, which ensures the fundamental right to reproductive freedom for all Michiganders in our state constitution. In recent past years, we have lead in addressing the harm imposed on patients in Michigan when healthcare providers allow religious doctrine to dictate care, rather than medical standards. In Lansing, we are on the front lines combatting policies that restrict access to reproductive health care and we have a network of attorneys dedicated to protecting reproductive freedom.
