Abolish Abortion in ROCHESTER HILLS
Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Rochester Hills's abolitionist inheritance
Rochester Hills is a wealthy, historically-Republican Oakland County suburb — a bedroom community for the auto-industry engineering class and the professional families of Rochester and Auburn Hills. Home to Oakland University's campus and a dense network of confessional Reformed, evangelical, and Catholic congregations, its civic identity mixes engineering, education, and old-line Midwest Protestantism.
Rochester Hills' political character has drifted more purple in recent cycles but its religious institutions remain among the most theologically-anti-abortion in southeast Michigan. Its OPC/PCA/URCNA churches, the RC parishes of the Rochester deanery, and the LCMS congregations all hold pro-life doctrine as core teaching. Abolition is the logical step from that doctrine into civil law — and the argument has a real audience here.

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

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

Oakland County voted 62% in favor of Proposal 3 in 2022. Rochester Hills specifically was closer to 55% — one of the more persuadable suburbs in the county.
