Abolish Abortion in COLDWATER
Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Coldwater's abolitionist inheritance
Coldwater is the seat of Branch County — a small southwest Michigan city on the Chicago-Detroit rail corridor, home to Kellogg Community College's Grahl Center and a strong rural-manufacturing economy.
The Catholic and Baptist churches in Coldwater hold the historic pro-life teaching. The abolitionist argument fits a rural county whose voters have consistently rejected abortion-rights ballot measures.

Prop 3 vote · Branch County · 2022
A majority of Branch County voters rejected Proposal 22-3 — the Reproductive Freedom for All amendment. Statewide it passed 56.7% to 43.3%, but Branch County did not go along. That local majority is the moral and political foundation for the equal-protection legislation abolitionists ask your representatives to sponsor.
