Data Show Majority of Pro-Choice and Prop 3 Voters Support Parental Consent, Safety Standards
(Lansing, Mich.) — The legislative majority and Gov.

“Lawmakers must decide if they stand with a majority of voters who support reasonable guardrails such as parental rights, informed consent, and health and sanitation standards for abortion facilities,” said Rebecca Mastee, J.D., policy advocate for MCC. “Even pro-choice voters and those who supported Proposal 3 last November have made clear that legislative protections for parents, women and children should remain in place.”
