LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – The endorsements of two Republican State House Representatives in Michigan have been rescinded by the Right to Life Michigan Political Action Committee (RLM-PAC) after they voted to repeal the 1931 abortion ban, MCL 750.14 on Thursday, March 2nd.

State Rep. Donni Steele (R-Orion Township) and Thomas Kuhn (R-Troy) both joined pro-abortion Democrats in voting to repeal the abortion ban.

Kuhn released a statement after his vote and said his vote was in order to “uphold the Michigan Constitution” as he swore to do. He said, “Because of this oath, I voted to repeal laws that are now clearly unconstitutional notwithstanding my personal belief on abortion or any other issues.”

Steele did not respond by press time regarding the reasoning for her vote.

Right to Life Michigan says about the abortion ban, “This law has been in place and partially effective even under Roe v. Wade, containing critical portions that remain constitutional in the wake of Proposal 3. Proposal 3 states that ‘the state may regulate the provision of abortion care after fetal viability.’ The 1931 abortion law is the only abortion statute that currently regulates post-viable abortions.”

Prior to being endorsed by the RLM-PAC, all candidates complete a questionnaire and interview with a panel of local pro-life volunteers. A large part of the process focuses on whether the candidate will uphold Michigan’s current pro-life laws.

RLM-PAC said in a statement, “By voting to repeal our current abortion law and thus legalize the abortion of children fully capable of living outside the womb, they have broken their pre-election promise to uphold human dignity. For this reason, the RLM-PAC Board has rescinded the previous endorsements of both Representative Kuhn and Representative Steele.”

RLM-PAC said they are thankful for each of the 50 Representatives who held firm and voted against House Bill 4006 and said, “Going forward, RLM-PAC will continue to support those individuals who are dedicated to upholding the right to life of all innocent Michiganders and looks forward to the day when basic human rights are once again protected in law.”
