Most major financial backers of Proposal 3 are known supporters of abortion.
Out-of-state billionaires George Soros and Michael Bloomberg, joined by a “dark money” fund, are among the wealthy backers of Michigan’s proposed ballot measure to make abortion a constitutional right. Despite the influx of money, foes of Proposal 3 say the state’s voters are increasingly skeptical.
“Despite how much money they have spent, Proposal 3 continues to lose support,” Christen Pollo, spokeswoman for Citizens to Support MI Women and Children, told CNA. “The more voters learn about how confusing and extreme Proposal 3 is, the more they reject it.”
Proposal 3 would establish in the Michigan Constitution a “fundamental right to reproductive freedom,” including the expansive legalization of abortion. It would allow for late-term abortions on broad mental-health grounds. The proposed amendment would repeal existing laws requiring informed consent for abortion and parental-consent requirements for teens seeking abortion, sterilization or gender transition. It would repeal existing laws requiring abortion facilities to be licensed and inspected for health and safety reasons.
