Our reproductive freedom in Michigan
is at stake.
In 2022, Michigan voters came out in record numbers to add protections for reproductive freedom by passing Proposal 3. Michiganders also elected pro-reproductive freedom majorities in both chambers of the legislature for the first time in nearly 40 years. With this slim majority, our leaders have made incredible progress in protecting and expanding access to abortion and other reproductive health care.
Yet if anti-abortion politicians take back the majority in the Michigan House of Representatives, they would take away our reproductive freedoms and undo everything Michiganders have fought for.

Donni Steele will work to ban abortion.
Donni Steele ignored the will of Michiganders when she voted against Michigan’s Reproductive Health Act in 2023, which removed harmful and unconstitutional barriers to abortion access. She did this despite the fact that 60% of voters in her district voted to protect reproductive freedom by passing Proposal 3 in 2022. She voted against a bill to repeal the law requiring people to purchase “rape insurance” to cover an abortion in case they were sexually assaulted. She also voted against legislation to protect people who decide to build their families through IVF and surrogacy. Donni also voted against protecting LGBTQ Michiganders from discrimination in the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act (ELCRA).
If re-elected, Donni will take away our reproductive freedoms, undoing everything Michiganders have fought for. At no point should the personal opinion of a politician like Donni Steele have a say in medical decisions between a person and their doctor.
