Michigan Democrats are really pushing against the ability to raise your child. In Proposition 3, which is on the Michigan ballot this midterm election, is all about reducing, if not stopping parent rights altogether.
Right now Prop 3 is hotly debated about the ability of children to proceed with transgender treatments and abortion without consent from their parent or guardian.
Those on the right argue that the bill will destroy parental consent laws. However, democrats claim that just isn’t so. The prosecutors of Genesee, Wayne, and Oakland County even cut a commercial denouncing the claims from the right.
Michigan’s Prop 3 and California’s Prop 1 would enshrine late term abortion on babies up until birth for any reason.
Michigan — vote NO on Prop 3
California — vote NO on Prop 1

Solicitor General John Bursch spoke out on Prop 3 and all it entails. He pointed. out that “every individual” and “fundamental right,” is unique to Prop 3. What is happening with Prop 3 isn’t in the U.S. or Michigan constitution. “If the Constitution says, ‘every individual,’ no judge has the ability to read that any less broadly than what it says. And we know that the other side actually believes this—although they won’t tell you that in the ads. How do we know that? Because Planned Parenthood and ACLU, two of the principal sponsors and proponents of proposal 3, introduced legislation in the Michigan legislature in 2019, and again in 2021, to eliminate Michigan’s parental consent and notification statute. And even as recently as spring of this year, representatives of the ACLU admitted that proposal 3 would eliminate parental consent and notification.”

Burch didn’t mention bill numbers or names in his explanation. LifeNews’ Christina Barr dug deep to gain clarity on the information out there. She explained, in an article for the pro-life organization, what she found.
Just like he said, Democrats introduced “The Reproductive Health Act” in 2019 and 2021, and it openly repealed “The Parental Rights Restoration Act,” which requires parental consent for abortions and penalizes clinics that perform one on a minor without parental consent or a court waiver. In 2019, the ACLU “applauded” this effort. In 2021, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan said it would repeal “outdated” restrictions.
Planned Parenthood Advocates argued removing parental consent laws “increases privacy and safety” for minors. They also praised getting rid of barriers that prevent taxpayer dollars from funding abortions, 24-hour waiting periods, and other informed consent laws.
The Reproductive Health Act has very similar language to Prop 3, but it was only a bill. Now, all the major players are pushing for a constitutional amendment. On your literal ballot, if you vote yes, you are agreeing to “invalidate state laws conflicting with this amendment.” Could it be the Democrats, the ACLU, and Planned Parenthood are simply lying to the voters, and the constitutional amendment is going to do everything they believe in and have tried to get done, at least twice?
Frankly, you have to be dangerously naïve or willfully ignorant to not believe there’s a good chance—if not a certainty—that is the endgame.
I reached out to the offices of prosecutors Karen D. McDonald (Oakland), David S. Leyton (Genesee), and Kym L. Worthy (Wayne), to see if they were aware of the Democrats’ former bills or if they agreed with Planned Parenthood’s sentiments about parental consent. None of them returned requests for comment.
