OLV Petition
OLV is participating in the Right to Life/Michigan Catholic Conference petition drive to ban dismemberment abortions in the state of Michigan. This ban allows for the exception to save the life of the pregnant woman whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, illness or injury. Generally preformed between the 13th and 24th week of gestation, this procedure dismembers the child, while in the womb, before evacuation. Just under 2,000 such abortions were performed in Michigan in 2018.
This petition drive will initiate legislation that has already passed both the Michigan House and Senate, only to be vetoed by the governor. If enough signatures are collected (about 400,000), the measure will once again go before the House and Senate. With a simple majority vote, the legislation will become law, unable to be vetoed by the governor. -
