“Today, on the 52nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we celebrate the ultimate overturn of the ill-founded ruling as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson decision. There is no mistaking the devastation wrought by nearly 50 years of bad law under Roe: innocent lives taken, families broken and women’s health and emotional well-being destroyed. Now, with the legalization of abortion up until birth for any reason as a result of Proposal 3 passing in Michigan just two years ago, we recommit to reaching deep into every community across our state to share the truth about abortion and the dangers women face when they undergo an abortion. Let’s not forget the shocking increase in serious complications from abortion, up 38% in one year alone as a result of the failed, abortion-obsessed leadership in our state. Prolifers across Michigan continue our tireless advocacy for renewed safeguards for parents, women and children, including the unborn. Our goal is that every woman facing an unplanned pregnancy has the support she needs to make a hopeful, courageous choice for life!” stated Amber Roseboom, President, Right to Life of Michigan.
