Issues
Litigation Content
Why this Matters
Plaintiffs challenge a ballot initiative that amended the Michigan constitution to guarantee a right to reproductive freedom. They argue that the state constitutional amendment violates the equal protection clause, the first amendment, the due process clause, and the guarantee clause. Protecting access to reproductive services enables individuals to receive necessary reproductive health care.
Potential Impact
Invalidating the constitutional provision will jeopardize access to safe reproductive health services in the state.
