The Michigan Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice had a training session for choice advocates on Saturday, March 26, 2011.

Michigan NOW Legislative Testimony:

Anti-Bullying Bill:
Michigan NOW opposes an unenumerated anti-school bullying bill, SB 137, because it does not name the categories of students protected from bullying.  If passed, such an unenumerated bill would allow school districts to pick and choose which students to protect.  LGBTQ students especially need protection from bullying and some legislators do not want to include them in the scope of the legislation.  
                                                 Read our testimony here

Partial Birth Abortion Bill:
Michigan NOW opposes SB 160 and 161 that would ban a late-term abortion procedure abortion opponents call “partial birth abortion.” 
                                        Read our testimony here

Over-regulation of Abortion Providers:
Michigan NOW opposes SB 25, 54, and 55 that would overly regulate abortion providers and create criminal penalties for doctors performing abortions by requiring elaborate and expensive procedures for disposal of the products of the pregnancy.  We put in a card opposing the legislation.
