ANTI-ABORTION ADVOCATES PROTEST LAUNCH EVENT FOR BALLOT INITIATIVE IN THREE MICHIGAN CITIES
Who: Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising (PAAU), and life-affirming activists from throughout the state and across the political, religious, and ideological spectrum
What: Protest and disruption of the launch event hosted by Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan for the so-called “reproductive freedom for all” amendment to the Michigan constitution that would repeal every pro-life law in the state replacing it with abortion-on-demand for any reason up until birth
When: Saturday, March 19th, 2022, 10am
Where:
DETROIT- ACLU of Michigan Headquarters, 2966 Woodward Avenue
GRAND RAPIDS- ACLU Grand Rapids Office, 1514 Wealthy Street SE, Suite 260
ANN ARBOR- Zion Lutheran Church, 1501 West Liberty
Why: Despite the reality that even a majority of Democrats want abortion more restricted than it is today, anti-life advocates are pushing an extremist ballot initiative that would nullify any common sense restrictions and would legalize abortion in Michigan well past the point of viability, for any reason, when a baby can live outside of the womb on their own. As political progressives and allies, we recognize the inherent classist, racist, eugenic, ableist, and sexist nature of state sponsored violence against the most vulnerable among us. We stand in solidarity with parents being exploited by the Abortion Industrial Complex and the unborn victims of this violent oppression. There is no progress without the preborn and pro-abortion extremism has no place in our state!
