Abortion — Where we stand here in Michigan

Volume 5, Issue 1

by Amber Roseboom, President, RLM

In our beloved state, the only remaining safeguards around abortion are parental consent for a minor seeking an abortion and ongoing limits on forcing taxpayers to fund elective abortions. Any and every safeguard for women undergoing abortions has been stripped from law – no more abortion clinic health and safety standards, no more informed consent and no complication reporting. Women now go in blind when it comes to abortion and simultaneously face unprecedented risks of harm themselves.

Reports show 1 in 10 women and girls who take the abortion pill have a serious medical event, with 40% of those ending in emergency room visits (Ethics & Public Policy Center, April 2025).
