Whatever your opinion on legal abortion, there’s a good chance you’ll be hearing a lot more about it in the coming months. The U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide whether to reverse or roll back the right to abortion laid out in the 1973 case Roe v. Wade.
This is already seeding the ground for a fierce political battle in Michigan. But for many people, this issue is deeper than politics. Where they stand on abortion is informed by deeply personal beliefs and experiences.
Over the next couple of days, we want to introduce you to two Michiganders, with different perspectives on abortion rights, who will tell you the story of how they came to hold those views.
