Abolish Abortion in KALAMAZOO
Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Kalamazoo's abolitionist inheritance
Kalamazoo is home to Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo College, and the Kalamazoo Promise — the anonymously-funded scholarship that pays college tuition for every graduate of Kalamazoo Public Schools. Its civic identity blends college-town liberalism with a deep vein of confessional Reformed Christianity through the Christian Reformed Church and the Bible-Baptist network across Portage and Comstock.
Kalamazoo's dual identity — WMU's pro-choice mainstream and the CRC-Bible-church coalition's historic anti-abortion witness — makes it one of Michigan's more polarized cities on this question. The abolitionist argument here has to speak into a genuinely-divided audience, which is exactly the audience where the biblical and constitutional case makes the most difference.

State-reported deaths · Kalamazoo County · 2023
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 Kalamazoo County; it does not include out-of-state travelers or self-managed abortions at home.

Prop 3 vote · Kalamazoo County · 2022
A majority of Kalamazoo 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.
