Right to Life, Republican lawmakers and other abortion foes have filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn a voter-approved amendment to the Michigan constitution that guarantees a right to reproductive freedom.

More than 2.4 million Michigan voters supported Proposal 3 last fall. The ballot measure, approved 57 percent to 43 percent, amended the Michigan Constitution to guarantee a right to abortion in the state months after the U.S. Supreme Court eliminated a federal right by overturning Roe v. Wade.

I will proudly defend their will in this lawsuit.https://t.co/3oORLthr7I

One year ago, Michiganders voted overwhelmingly to protect abortion rights in our state. Now a group of Republican state legislators and their extremist allies are trying to overturn your vote. Sound familiar? Republicans have no respect for Michigan voters or our democracy. https://t.co/h2S6AFEkcr
