Republican-backed bills would require reporting of key details on abortions in Michigan [View all]

Michigan bills to resume tracking abortion data are scheduled to receive a hearing Wednesday morning before the Republican-led state House Health Policy Committee.

The legislation would require providers to report data like a patient's age, racial and ethnic background, and pregnancy history. The bills would also require reporting to the state when complications arise.

Genevieve Marnon is legislative director for Right to Life of Michigan. She said the bills are about patient safety.

“I think women have the right to know the risks they are taking before they make a decision, and the abortion reporting is a necessary part of that right,” Marnon said.
