LANSING, Mich. – A proposed state constitutional amendment that could protect abortion rights in Michigan has hit another roadblock on its path to November's ballot. Wednesday, a four-person board deadlocked along partisan lines on whether to send the amendment along to voters this fall.

Abortion rights supporters are expected to appeal the decision straight to the state's supreme court, but time is ticking. Any language that is slated to appear on the ballot would have to be sent to the printer by Sept. 9.


...the campaign turned in far more signatures than are required to get on the ballot. In fact, the petition broke a record in the state when more than 700,000 voters signed on.


But Republicans said the petitions that were circulated had typos and words that were pushed too close together to be easily understood. The proposed amendment has faced scrutiny over alleged typos in its petition language for weeks.


"Call these typos, errors, mistakes, or whatever," says Eric Doster, the attorney for Citizens to Support MI Women and Children. "This gibberish now before this board does not satisfy the full test requirement under law and this board has never approved, never approved a petition with these types of typos and errors."

So, why not just correct the typos and clarify the language?

"One year after Texas implemented what was then the most restrictive abortion law in the country, a majority of Texas voters are expressing strong support for abortion rights.

In a new survey, six in 10 voters said they support abortion being "available in all or most cases," and many say abortion will be a motivating issue at the ballot box in November. Meanwhile, 11% say they favor a total ban on abortion.

"We've known that politicians in Texas and across the country have been enacting harmful abortion bans. We've known that they've been out of step with what Texans want, and now we have the data to prove that," said Carisa Lopez, senior political director for the Texas Freedom Network"

All screamed out?

I remember thinking I had a choice when I was bleeding out at 5 months. The baby was already dead. I didn't have to state my case for why I should live. And I wanted to live. My husband left me with an unforgettable memory. He was a real trooper. All he could say was how badly our baby stunk. I was left with months of thinking I had failed as a woman. How hard is to give birth to a live full term baby? Pretty hard for some of us. Now we have the party of small government basically killing women for an inviable or dead fetus. Fuck them.

Thank you for sharing an awful episode in your life. I'm so sorry you had to suffer through such a hard thing, both physically and emotionally.

Agreed... Fuck anyone who thinks they can regulate our bodies and value our lives not at all.

"Thursday, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that a proposed state constitutional amendment that would protect abortion rights should be placed on November's ballot."



"Chief Justice Bridget Mary McCormack called the effort by board members to keep the abortion rights question off the ballot "a game of gotcha gone very bad."

"What a sad marker of the times."

Justices held that more than enough signatures were collected (about 750,000 signatures, far more than the 425,000 signatures required) and that other matters were not up to the board to decide. "

Will the deafening silence on this thread translate to the Vote?

Was it all a flash in the pan?

Was the screaming on all the other Tuesdays wasted? Will there be any left for the one Tuesday that matters?

Yeah, that's what I thought.
