Rep. Elissa Slotkin’s Statement on the Board of State Canvassers’ Decision to Block the Reproductive Freedom for All Proposal From the Ballot
Slotkin calls on the Michigan Supreme Court to decide this case “as quickly as possible”
LANSING, Mich.— Rep. Elissa Slotkin issued the following statement on the Michigan Board of State Canvassers’ deadlock along party lines on whether to place the Reproductive Freedom for All proposal on the ballot:
“I look forward to the Michigan Supreme Court taking up this case as quickly as possible. The 730,000-plus Michiganders who added their signatures to this ballot proposal deserve to be heard. The people—not the government, and not politicians—should get to decide whether we enshrine the Roe standard into our constitution or accept the 1931 ban on all abortions, with no exceptions. I hope the Supreme Court makes that clear.”
