Abolish Abortion in MONROE
Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Monroe's abolitionist inheritance
Monroe is the seat of Monroe County — a Lake Erie shore city where the River Raisin meets the lake. Historic site of the War of 1812 River Raisin battles (now a national park). Politically it has trended Republican in recent cycles despite its historically Democratic union heritage.
The Catholic church network — St. Mary's, St. John the Baptist, and the IHM Sisters of Charity motherhouse — has been a foundational institution in Monroe since the 1820s. IHM teaching on abortion has been consistent for two centuries: it is intrinsically evil. Abolition is that teaching brought into civil law.

Prop 3 vote · Monroe County · 2022
A majority of Monroe County voters rejected Proposal 22-3 — the Reproductive Freedom for All amendment. Statewide it passed 56.7% to 43.3%, but Monroe 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.
