LANSING, MICH – The Michigan Republican Party issued the following statement following the deadlock vote by the Board of Canvassers:
“This extreme initiative simply doesn’t belong on the ballot. Riddled with mistakes and errors, the initiative would repeal dozens of state laws including late term abortion bans in place,” said Elizabeth Giannone, MIGOP Deputy Communications Director. “Michiganders were fooled into signing this abortion on demand initiative that would take away parental consent for abortion, screening for women being coerced to have an abortion, and health and safety requirements for facilities performing abortions. This initiative is too extreme for Michigan and must be defeated.”
