On Tuesday,
December 3, at 9:30 a.m., in the Senate Appropriations Room, Room 320 in
the State Capitol Building, a public advocacy organization, Save the 1,
will hold a press conference hosted by Right to Life of Michigan.
The press conference will exclusively feature women who have conceived children after sexual assault and individuals who were conceived in rape. Save the 1 members advocate on behalf of themselves and others like them who have experienced the social biases and stigma that promote abortion as an appropriate, even desirable response to pregnancy resulting from rape.
These individuals
will share their perspective on the intersection of their life stories
with public policies regarding abortion, including the recent
discussions about the Abortion Insurance Opt-Out Act, which is before
the Legislature now that the petition signatures submitted by Right to
Life of Michigan have been certified by the Board of Canvassers.
