Republicans Aim to Ban Abortion and Contraceptives

Republicans Aim to Ban Abortion and Contraceptives

In 2022, Michigan voters amended the state constitution to guarantee women the right to make their own reproductive decisions. In contrast, many Republican-led governments in other states have already enacted bans or severe restrictions on abortion. More ominously, at the federal level, Republican leaders in the House of Representatives continue to promote a nation-wide ban on abortions, with no exceptions, that would override the guarantee promised to Michigan women. To complement their anti-abortion agenda, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives are also taking aim at contraception.
