LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The Michigan Supreme Court has ordered that an abortion-rights initiative appear on the November ballot.

Thursday’s decision will allow voters to decide whether the right to an abortion will be enshrined in the state constitution.

Abortion-rights supporters say a vote is necessary to stop a 1931 state law that outlaws abortion from taking effect. The law that would have been triggered by the U.S. Supreme Court decision to reverse Roe v. Wade has been blocked by court battles.

Unfortunately, that being on the ballot will be a plus for Her Pomposity, Empress Gretchen the First. Haven’t seen Tudor putting up much of a fight either.

“Thursday’s decision will allow voters to decide whether the right to an abortion will be enshrined in the state constitution.”

If this passes, then the next decision will be when “Senior Citizens” are obliged to become a dead person being enshrined in the state constitution. 89 going on 90 on the 19th hoping to make it to April, 2025 (first 100 days after Pres. DJT sworn in for 2nd term, along with DeSantis)

I’m not sure why the Republicans aren’t campaigning on the idea that voters now have a choice in this matter…

“I’m not sure why the Republicans aren’t campaigning on the idea that voters now have a choice in this matter…”

If I were a conservative candidate, I would absolutely be campaigning about the choice. The choice is clear, do you want unlimited-including post birth and 3rd trimester abortions- or do the people want limits or no abortion at all.

Power to the People, let them decide for themselves. That was the point of the SCOTUS ruling.

more shiite-canery court overstepping

“A state elections board deadlocked on whether to certify the measure, meaning it wouldn’t appear on the November ballot.”

so that means it does NOT appear on the ballot

Now the court overrules the legislature to give The Witch a boost in turn out.

Burn it all down . . .

Michigan Republican legislators don't care if Wretched wHitler gets re-elected.

Their grift is safe.

Even safer, because they can play the Lesser of Two Weevils card all day long.

Yes, the Michigan courts can't look at the open and notorious Michigan vote fraud of 2020 - but they're ALL OVER this way to increase Democrat "voter" turnout.

The Michigan Supreme Court Steal of 2018 came in handy...

Apparently, Michigan no longer needs a legislature of elected representatives to express the will of the people.

The sooner the states muddle through this and have their referendums or legislative consideration as to abortion, the better. Let the state chips fall where they may. Get the histrionics behind us and confront the substantive issues threatening the existence of the Republic - illegal immigration, debt, inflation, crime, etc.

You support the moral rotting of this nation and there won’t be a nation if that happens.

Mostly because it is a loosing issue in at least 50% of the States.
This is the one issue the AZ AstroNut Senator is running on since he can’t run on his record.
I understand and agree with the passion but this is not a winning issue in much of the country.

I fled the state in 1972.

Awful government isn’t difficult to discern, but few act on what they see.

They have every intention of cheating again. Nothing was done about 2020. When you reward bad behavior, you’re sure to get more of it.
