“Every person should be able to make their own decisions about their health and their bodies — including abortion. No one’s most personal medical decisions should be controlled by politicians, neighbors, complete strangers or anyone else,” read a news release.
What will happen if the US Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade and what that will mean for women’s reproductive rights in the state of Michigan are set to be discussed during the meeting.
