The bills were approved by the Michigan legislature earlier this year. The law will also require any physician treating a woman for a complication from an abortion to report the complication. The report will be sent to the Michigan state health department. The Right to Life of Michigan group hailed the new regulations. Michigan legislators who voted in favor of these three bills have the best interest of women and children in mind.
Abortion is currently a legal option, but it is by no means a safe one.
The Planned Parenthood of Michigan opposed all three bills. The regulations . . . are now intended to go after physicians offices that provide abortions and to reinstitute some regulations that were ruled unconstitutional in 1984.
