Abortion Rights Proposal Knocked Off Michigan Ballot

“Michigan’s elections panel deadlocked along partisan lines Wednesday on certifying an abortion rights measure for this fall’s ballot that proposed adding an explicit right to seek the procedure in the state,” the Detroit Free Press reports.

“The impasse leaves the measure off the ballot, and Reproductive Freedom for All plans to file an appeal asking the Michigan Supreme Court to put the proposed constitutional amendment before voters as the state prepares to send out ballots next month.”
