Michigan ranks last in access to abortions
Michigan ranked last in the country in offering women access to abortions, according to a study released Monday.
There are 36 abortion clinics in just 11 of the state’s 83 counties, the Michigan Abortion and Reproduction Rights Action League reported. There were 70 clinics in 1992.
Michigan’s northernmost clinic is in Saginaw, which draws women who drive for hours from the Upper Peninsula for its services, the report said.

Cops: Teens ended pregnancy with a baseball bat
It was an unwanted pregnancy, police said.
And for several weeks, her 16-year-old boyfriend struck her in the belly with a baseball bat in an effort to terminate her pregnancy, police said.
In October, the 16-year-old girl had a miscarriage in her Richmond Township house, said Michigan State Police Sgt. Jim Haggerty.
Making it difficult for women to have access to safe, legal abortions doesn’t stop abortions. Instead, it leads to desperate, horrible acts like this.
