Proposal 3 passes in Michigan, legalizing abortion, ABC News projects

TL;DR

(WXYZ) — Michigan voters will pass Proposal 3, legalizing abortion and reproductive rights in the state after the fall of Roe v. Wade earlier this year, ABC News projects.Prop 3 amends Michigan’s Constitution to guarantee that "every individual has a fundamental right to reproductive freedom," which would include the right to make decisions about pregnancy.The proposal would allow lawmakers to ban or regulate abortions "after fetal viability," which is usually around the 24-week mark.However, the state would not be able to regulate abortions that are medically necessary to protect the "physical or mental health" of the woman.Many people were against the proposal, and the group Citizens to Support MI Women and Children has been the main backer of ads and signs that encourage people to vote "No on Proposal 3.""
