Abortion-rights supporters say a vote is necessary to stop a 1931 state law that outlaws abortion from taking effect.
LANSING, Mich. — Voters will determine whether to place abortion rights in the Michigan Constitution, the state Supreme Court declared Thursday, settling the issue a day before the fall ballot must be completed.
In Michigan, a state elections board on Aug. 31 deadlocked along party lines on whether the abortion initiative should appear on the ballot, with Republicans voting no and Democrats voting yes. The 2-2 tie meant the measure wasn’t certified for the ballot. The majority was made up of McCormack, three other Democratic justices and a Republican justice. Two Republicans dissented.
“Current events continue showing us that any nation that sees the next generation as an existential threat — rather than an existential necessity — has no future,” Right to Life said on Facebook.
