Michigan will become the next state to legalzie abortions up to birth after voters approved the dangerous and radical Proposition 3 to would elimiate every single pro-life law in the state, including parental consent.
The 55-45 result in favor of the pro-abortion amendment was not surprising given the millions of dollars leftist billionaires pooured into the state to buy votes with false and misleading television commercials that lied about the effects of the measure. Rich, elite billionaires from New York and the Bahamas flooded the airwaves with ads that confused voters and made the measure seem as if it was just supporting health care for women.
Right to Life of Michigan talked about this in a statement today.
“We are grateful to thousands of tireless volunteers and donors who had the courage to stand up against Prop 3. We were unable to withstand the New York and California mega-donors who dumped millions of dollars into the state, outspending us by what looks to be $20 million,” it said. “We will hold Proposal 3’s sponsors accountable for the misleading promises they made: -That parental rights will be upheld. That late-term abortion would not be permitted. That there will be no tax-funded abortions. That only the 1931 abortion ban will be affected.”
The Catholic News Agency reports billionaires George Soros and Michael Bloomberg, who frequently donate to leftist political causes, have poured millions of dollars into Michigan to pass Proposal 3.
Soros’s Open Society Policy Center donated $4.5 million and Bloomberg, a former New York City mayor, donated $2 million to the campaign for the pro-abortion amendment, according to campaign finance records.
“Out-of-state abortion advocates are trying to buy a constitutional amendment in Michigan that they hope to use as a blueprint across the rest of the country,” Christen Pollo, spokeswoman for the pro-life Citizens to Support Michigan Women and Children, told CNA. “This is not a Michigan effort. This is New York and California pushing an extreme agenda on the people of our state.”
The proposed amendment would legalize the killing of unborn babies in abortions through all nine months of pregnancy and allow anyone, including people without any medical training, to assist with an abortion, according to the pro-life coalition. And while Michigan law requires parents to consent for a 12-year-old to have their tonsils removed, the amendment would make it so parents do not need to consent or even be informed if their 12-year-old daughter has an abortion, or receives transgender drugs or surgery.
Nearly all of the financial support for the amendment has come from outside the state, Pollo continued. Along with Soros and Bloomberg, other outside donors include the Sixteen Thirty Fund, a dark money group that donated $5.2 million; former Microsoft executive Steve Ballmer and his wife, Connie, who donated $2 million; and Nishad Singh, an executive at the Bahamas-based cryptocurrency company FTX, who donated $4 million, according to campaign finance records.
The billion-dollar abortion chain Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union also donated large amounts toward the campaign, CNA reports.
State pro-life leaders had been working hard to educate voters about the amendment and refute lies from the pro-abortion side. But some have been targets of violence. In September, an elderly pro-life woman was shot by an angry abortion supporter while campaigning against the amendment in Lake Odessa; she survived. The man is facing several charges, including assault with a dangerous weapon and careless discharge of a firearm causing injury.
Several churches and pregnancy centers also have been vandalized with pro-abortion graffiti in recent months, and pro-life yard signs have been stolen.
Michigan is a major abortion battleground state. Pro-life Republicans control the state legislature, but Gov. Gretchen Whitmer repeatedly has vetoed life-saving legislation. In July, she even vetoed $21.4 million in funding to support pregnant and parenting mothers who choose life for their babies.
Michigun has a pre-Roe v. Wade law that protects unborn babies by banning abortions, but a judge recently blocked the law at the request of pro-abortion groups.
Nearly 30,000 unborn babies are aborted in Michigan every year.
.....hangar.....good Freudian slip....hah...
Look for the economies of these states to sink like rocks in the ocean.
God will not be mocked....................
Following the natural course of evolution of thought, the next step is euthanasia for Granny or Grandpa because they cramp your travel plans. Of course the government will think that’s a wonderful public policy. Eventually there will be drive-thru drop-offs for compassionate end of life processing.
Those that tell you that abortion was in last place in concerns only sucker punched those who believed it! This is what drove the multitude to vote in droves for this demonic practice!
Florida just gained more Conservative Michiganders.
Gotta kill ‘em all. Especially those black babies.
One of these days an enterprising pro-life group will find a “gay” or “tranny” gene and claim they are going to abort gay and tranny babies. Abortion would end overnight.
It’s much nicer killing babies in the clinical setting of an abortion mill. No unpleasant sights and sounds to offend the sensibilities of our caring abortion loving democrats.
Excellent point. Agree.
Rename Pro Life to Pro Baby

Images of an ultra sounds with happy sounds in background. Final image of an aborted baby. Silence. Then a question: Is this your definition of mercy?
Testimonies of women devestated by their pro death descions.
This is just off the top of my head.
In THIS economy...are they wrong?
...but economic manipulation/cultural rot aside...that's got nothing to do with the simple fact that the VAST majority of abortions have become a "mulligan" to mitigate 2 people being TOTALLY irresponsible(as human beings)...and now a(local, state, federal, what's the difference)GOVERNMENT protected right to do so, without consequences...along WITH...a political party to tell them they did NOTHING wrong(screw whatever/whenever...we got you covered, and there is no "God").
"We live at a time when men call right, wrong and wrong, right. At a time when evil is called good and good is called evil"
Good analysis.
Babies don’t desereve to die for the sins of their parents.
Why bother having elections if “buying votes” is the excuse for losing. Every time the voters have has an opportunity to vote on abortion the Pro-Life side has been crushed. Pro-Life has lost in every color state across the visible light spectrum. When push comes to shove and in keeping with the Zeitgeist of maximal autonomy, abortion is an electoral winner.
The Pro-Life movement succeeded in getting 5 SCOTUS to end Row v. Wade but the movement has utterly failed to convince the public to support the cause. People were able to pay lip service about being ProLife, but now when there is an consequence these people are unwilling to push the button.
