Michigan Governor Repeals Law Requiring Separate Insurance for Abortions
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer repealed a state law that required women to buy a separate rider on their health insurance to cover abortions. The measure was first put in place a decade ago and was dubbed rape insurance by activists since it did not differentiate pregnancies resulting from rape. Whitmer's decision builds on her efforts to protect abortion access in Michigan, as voters in the state enshrined abortion rights into the constitution last year. She believes that reproductive freedom is overwhelmingly supported by the voters and sees it as a major issue in the 2024 election as well.
