Abortion rights were added to the Michigan Constitution by nearly 57% of voters in 2022 .

Voters in 2022 approved a sweeping constitutional amendment ensuring access to the medical procedure.

Michigan 's Medicaid program only pays for abortions to save a woman's life or to end pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.

A judge, citing the same amendment, blocked a 24-hour waiting period and other abortion-related restrictions.
