Voters in reliably red Kentucky rejected a ballot measure aimed at denying any state constitutional protections for abortion, while voters in Michigan enshrined abortion rights in their constitution — joining California and Vermont in taking that step.
California state Senate President Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, right, hugs Jodie Hicks, chief executive officer and president of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, at a gathering in support of Proposition 1, in Sacramento, Calif., Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022. Voters approved the measure that puts the right to an abortion in the California Constitution.
The Tuesday ballot measures came months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the constitutional right to abortion it guaranteed to women nationwide. The decision in June has led to near-total bans in a dozen states. “There’s a lot of energy for Prop 3 on campus right now, whether you agree with abortion or not,” Roberts said. “I think students want to have the same rights that their parents had when they were younger.”
James Miller, 66, of Flint, Michigan, said he thought of his daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters when he voted in favor of the measure.Michelle Groesser, of Swartz Creek, Michigan, said she opposes abortion, even though she believes that any ban likely would have some narrow exceptions. “In a perfect world, I personally would want all life preserved,” she said.
Bauer is an abortion opponent who supports some limited exceptions, “but nobody’s willing to throw any kind of compromise ... it’s either a yes or no vote.” Initial returns indicated that thousands of Kentucky voters who backed GOP Sen. Rand Paul for reelection opposed the abortion amendment.
