The Michigan state Senate on Wednesday voted to repeal the state’s 1931 abortion ban as well as its sentencing guidelines
. The bills were passed 20-18, along party lines in the Democratic-controlled Senate after passing the House last week and were sent to Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for her signature. Democrats control the governor’s office and the state legislature for the first time in four decades. Whitmer has been a vocal supporter of abortion rights, using the issue as a driving force in her 2022 reelection campaign.
Michigan voters enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution during the midterms, a move that was intended to help block the ban from taking effect. But reproductive rights advocates see the bills’ passage through the legislature as “major step forward.” “This is proof positive that elections matter,” Mini Timmaraju, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, said in a statement.
