A Michigan-based pro-life group delivered a petition signed by 379,418 people to the state capitol on 23 December, in an effort to ban an abortion procedure known as dismemberment abortion, that’s performed during the second trimester.

‘Michigan Values Life’ submitted the petition which exceeded the 340,047 signatures required by state law.

If enough of the petitions are certified as valid, then the legislature will have 40 days to pass the initiative. If the initiative is passed then, according to Michigan law, pro-abortion Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer will be unable to veto it.
