Michiganders Vote Yes On Pro–Abortion Rights Amendment

Pushing his sleeping newborn twins in a stroller as he exited a polling place in downtown Detroit with his spouse on Tuesday afternoon, Tyler Jones told BuzzFeed News that he voted “yes” on Proposal 3.

The couple had supported abortion rights before they had children, but people told them they’d feel the “exact opposite” after having kids, Jones said. “Well, we had kids, and we still felt the same way,” he said.

Brittany Wood, 36, also said she voted for the amendment. She was cautiously optimistic Michigan would pass the measure in spite of its swing state status.

“There are young voters and I hope they see the gravity of the situation and they show up, but Michigan is a traditional state too,” she told BuzzFeed News. “So I’ve been keeping that in mind, and I’m hoping for the best.”
