Abolish Abortion in NORTON SHORES
Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Norton Shores's abolitionist inheritance
Norton Shores is Muskegon's southern suburb on Mona Lake — home to Muskegon County Airport, Grand Valley State University's Meijer Campus, and the Lake Michigan shoreline that runs south to Grand Haven.
The Reformed, evangelical Protestant, and Catholic churches in Norton Shores carry the West Michigan pro-life teaching. The abolitionist argument extends that theology into civil-rights terms.

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

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