Michigan Ranked #1 for Prolife Accomplishments

Because of the combined prolife work through local and state political action in electing prolife lawmakers and grassroots and state level lobbying, Michigan is again ranked number one in protecting women and their children from the negative consequences of abortion.

Americans United for Life, a prolife, public-interest law and policy organization, released its fifth annual ranking of the most and least prolife states based on laws in the states. For the third year in a row, Michigan topped the list.

While AUL's criteria covers each state's treatment of all life issues, the final ranking depends largely on each state's enactment of prudent and well-supported laws that fence in the abortion license granted by the U.S. Supreme Court in its 1973 decision, Roe v. Wade. Among the laws that AUL looks for are informed consent, parental involvement for minors, abortion clinic regulations and funding limitations on the use of public monies for abortion.

Congratulations prolife people of Michigan. You are number one!
