Abolish Abortion in WYOMING
Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Wyoming's abolitionist inheritance
Wyoming is the largest suburb of Grand Rapids, sitting directly south of the city and sharing its Dutch Reformed civic inheritance. Its neighborhoods run from working-class near 28th Street to the leafy affluence of the Byron Center border. The Christian Reformed Church of North America (CRC) and Reformed Church in America (RCA) both maintain a dense congregational presence throughout the city.
Wyoming's religious identity carries the historic Reformed teaching that human life begins at conception and is a gift of God. The gap between that teaching and Michigan's post-Proposal-3 constitutional protection of abortion is the exact gap the abolitionist argument exists to close. In a city where nearly every neighborhood has a CRC or RCA church within walking distance, abolition is a natural next-step for a movement already latent in the pulpits.

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

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

Kent County voted 62% in favor of Proposal 3 in 2022. Wyoming's precincts specifically split more evenly than the county as a whole — the city's dense Reformed and working-class Catholic churches are a persuadable audience.
