An organization says it’s found several typos in a proposed constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights in Michigan

The group “Citizens to Support MI Women and Children” claims there are 43 spots where words are missing spaces in between them.

Spokesperson Christen Pollo says that makes some of the language unreadable.

"One of the words is 107 characters long. Another is 108 characters long. It’s incomprehensible. These aren’t words that are defined in the English language."

The group behind the amendment, “Reproductive Freedom for All,” says it’s confident its proposal will hold up to scrutiny.

State officials are scheduled to meet later this month to determine whether the petition should qualify for the ballot.
