16 Republican lawmakers in Michigan — all men — introduced bills that would force women to have an invasive transvaginal ultrasound before an abortion, and would criminalize abortions as early as six weeks (before many women even know they’re pregnant).
If passed, these would be some of the most radical and restrictive abortion bans ever enacted.
These bills are so extreme that Right to Life Michigan, the leading anti-choice group in the state, won’t back the full package because they don’t think it will “stand constitutional muster.”
But that isn’t stopping the Republicans in Michigan. They don’t believe women should have the right to make their own health decisions and they’re going to do everything in their power to roll back the rights we’ve fought so hard to protect.
EMILY’s List is supporting seven pro-choice Democratic women running for office in Michigan, and electing them is the best thing we can do to stop this kind of legislation from getting passed — and getting copied in other states.
Thanks for all you do,
