Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Westland is a working-class Detroit suburb west of Dearborn, part of the postwar auto-industry ring. Named after the Westland Center shopping mall when it incorporated in 1966, the city has a large Union-Democrat electorate that has trended Republican in national races since 2016. Its churches lean evangelical, Catholic, and Missouri-Synod Lutheran — theologically-conservative traditions that hold historic pro-life positions.
Westland is home to Northland Family Planning's Westland location on Ford Road — one of the highest-volume abortion facilities in metro Detroit. That the city hosts a major abortion provider despite its working-class Christian composition is exactly the pattern the abolitionist argument exists to answer: private conviction and public law have diverged, and the law needs to be brought back into line.
One high-volume abortion facility operates inside Westland city limits:

Wayne County voted 68% in favor of Proposal 3 in 2022 — a vote that put the constitutional protection of preborn Michiganders out of reach through the ordinary democratic process. Abolition insists that some questions of justice are prior to the ballot.
