abortion rights

Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed more bills Tuesday to roll back abortion restrictions remaining on the books in Michigan.

Democratic leaders could not muster the necessary votes for lifting the ban on using Medicaid funds for abortion care or repealing 24-hour waiting periods.

Whitmer said repealing abortion restrictions is necessary to align state laws with the reproductive rights amendment adopted last year by a 57% to 43% margin

The bill updates laws to reflect the reproductive rights amendment adopted last year by voters. The measure was adopted along party lines.
