Abolish Abortion in DEARBORN HEIGHTS
Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Dearborn Heights's abolitionist inheritance
Dearborn Heights sits west of Dearborn along Ford Road and Warren Avenue — a working- and middle-class suburb built alongside the auto-industry boom of the 1950s and 60s. Its population today is roughly a third Arab-American (Lebanese, Iraqi Chaldean, and Yemeni), with substantial Polish-Catholic, Ukrainian-Orthodox, and evangelical Protestant communities.
The historic Christian and Islamic teachings on abortion converge in Dearborn Heights: the preborn are ensouled human beings deserving of protection. The abolitionist argument is that civil law must reflect this shared moral conviction rather than defer to an atomistic "right to choose" framework alien to every ancient tradition present in the city.

Michigan reported 28,491 induced abortions statewide in 2023 — a documented rise since the 2022 Reproductive Freedom for All amendment. The number above counts only Michigan residents of Wayne County; it does not include out-of-state travelers or self-managed abortions at home.

Prop 3 vote · Wayne County · 2022
A majority of Wayne County voters approved Proposal 22-3, the Reproductive Freedom for All amendment. Statewide, it passed 56.7% to 43.3%. A majority vote does not settle whether preborn image-bearers deserve equal protection under the law — that is a moral question the ballot cannot answer, and it is exactly the question the abolition movement asks Michigan to reopen.

Wayne County voted 68% in favor of Proposal 3 in 2022. Dearborn Heights split closer to the Wayne County average, with Arab-American precincts voting more against Prop 3 than Wayne County as a whole.
