My understanding is Michigan just voted in a constitutional right to abortion including full term. They also removed all provisions for the mother to sue her abortion provider for botched procedures. This was rushed through via a huge effort from Planned Parenthood. They hired door to door activists to get the signatures to put the measure on the ballot as soon as the SCOTUS leaker revealed the likely outcome of the majority opinion. The overbearing focus on the mother and her rights has led to awful laws and these will likely spread. It's sad.
Michigan's ballot measure invalidated an abortion ban from the 1930's and affirmed an individual's right to make decisions "about all matters relating to pregnancy," including contraception, fertility, abortion and childbirth.
However it's not at all legally settled how Prop 3 impacts abortion regulations already on the books like the Michgan law that abortion is legal until fetal viability.
Regarding it being rushed through, I don't know what that means in this context. What was rushed about it? How would delaying getting Prop 3 on the ballot have benefitted either side? The issue was obviously time-sensitive since there was clear risk that with Dobbs, and absent Prop 3, courts could have ruled to enforce the 1931 abortion ban.
