Abortion in Michigan

2022 Michigan Proposal 3 results map by county

Abortion in Michigan is legal throughout pregnancy.[1][2] A state constitutional amendment to explicitly guarantee abortion rights was placed on the ballot in 2022 as Michigan Proposal 22–3;[3] it passed with 57 percent of the vote, adding the right to abortion and contraceptive use to the Michigan Constitution.[4] The amendment largely prevents the regulation of abortion before fetal viability, unless said regulations are to protect the individual seeking an abortion, and it also makes it unconstitutional to make laws restricting abortions which would protect the life and health, physical and/or mental, of the pregnant individual seeking abortion.[5]
