Right to Life of Michigan lawsuit seeks to overturn abortion rights Proposal 3 | Bridge Michigan

LANSING — Right to Life, Republican lawmakers and other abortion foes filed suit Wednesday seeking to overturn a voter-approved amendment to the Michigan constitution that guarantees a right to reproductive freedom.

The complaint alleges that Proposal 3’s broad guarantee of reproductive rights will make it impossible for a future Legislature to reinstate those regulations, should lawmakers decide to do so at a later date.

Isn’t that what amendments are supposed to do?

stolid_agnostic,

Their argument is that the amendment to the state constitution violates the 14th amendment of the US Constitution, stating that the “pre born” are having their rights violated. These people are nuts and this won’t go anywhere.

money_loo,

I wonder if these people think when you step on an acorn you’ve killed an entire oak tree.

Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is good…

captainlezbian,

Very much so. Down here in Ohio we did the same thing. If we decide abortion needs restrictions we’ll do another amendment. But frankly we had roe, we liked roe. I want a federal amendment of an explicit right to privacy that codifies roe in no uncertain terms and leans towards more freedom.

Anti abortion activists are zealots hell bent on forcing people to be pregnant against their will

SinningStromgald,

Forced pregnancy to feed the capitalist machine more fodder for exploitation.

money_loo,

I mean yeah but the real reason is a lot of these people have very poor science skills and they actually believe that fetuses and embryos are complete human people, and that you’re just killing human beings willy nilly.

It’s why education is so important.
