Abolish Abortion in STERLING HEIGHTS
Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Sterling Heights's abolitionist inheritance
Sterling Heights is Michigan's fourth-largest city, a postwar Macomb County suburb built on the assembly-line prosperity of the Detroit auto industry. It is now one of the most ethnically diverse cities in the state — home to the largest Chaldean (Iraqi Christian) population outside of the Middle East, alongside significant Assyrian, Albanian, Bosnian, and Polish communities.
The Chaldean population in particular carries an ancient Christian witness — a church that has confessed the humanity of the preborn from Nicaea forward. Sterling Heights sits at the intersection of that historic Christian anthropology and one of the highest abortion-provider densities in the Detroit metro area — two facilities within four miles of each other. Closing that gap is the local abolitionist work.

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

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

Macomb County voted 55% in favor of Proposal 3 in 2022. The Chaldean and Assyrian Catholic communities voted against it in significant numbers — a reminder that historically-Christian minority communities in Sterling Heights are natural coalition partners for the abolition case.
