Kalamazoo County · ~48,000 residents
Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Portage is Kalamazoo's largest suburb, home to Stryker Corporation, Pfizer's Kalamazoo campus, and the Air Zoo aviation museum. Its churches include CityGate Church (on the postmillennial-network AAM Partners page), several major Reformed congregations, and a strong Catholic parish network.
Portage's postmillennial-adjacent CityGate presence is exactly the kind of nucleus around which local abolition coalitions form. See the partners page for the broader national network.
We are not currently aware of an abortion facility operating inside Portage city limits.
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.
