Is Abortion Legal in Michigan?
With the recent overturning of Roe v. Wade, you may wonder what types of abortion are available in your state and what restrictions are in place. It can be easy to panic at a time like this, but you are not alone as you navigate this pregnancy.
Before Roe was overturned, Michigan held a law that banned almost all abortions, but since then it has been blocked. As of November 2022, the ballot measure to enshrine the right to obtain an abortion into the state constitution passed with a nearly 57% majority. This new law went into effect on December 23, 2022.
