PROP 3

Michigan voters collectively passed Proposal 3 in the general election, effectively codifying abortion rights under the Michigan Constitution -- but when does that take effect?

Voters have approved a ballot proposal that will amend the Michigan Constitution to codify abortion rights in the state, NBC News projects.

The attorney general’s race is the closest on the ballot this November with unique circumstances as it puts incumbent Dana Nessel up against Republican Matt DePerno, a lawyer from the west side of the state.

The majority of Michigan voters are supporting all three proposals appearing on the ballot this election, according to a new WDIV/Detroit News poll.

Gretchen Whitmer raised $4.8 million, while her Republican opponent Tudor Dixon wasn’t too far behind, having raised $4.4 million. Dixon spent nearly $2 million in funds, using some for her first broadcast advertising of the campaign. Total this cycle, Karamo’s campaign has raised more than $1.1 million and spent nearly a million of it. Democrats in the Senate reported bringing in roughly $1.7 million in the third quarter of the year. But, like both parties in the lower chamber, Senate Democrats also reported spending $4.3 million during that same time.

There have been a lot of claims on both sides about what the impact of Proposition 3 would mean if it were to pass.

There is a lot of misinformation on social media, in advertisements and in articles online. We’re working to clear up that misinformation.

The state would still be allowed to prohibit abortion after “fetal viability,” unless abortion care is needed to save the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual.

Voters will decide the future of abortion rights in Michigan during the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022.
