Tudor Dixon Blasts Gretchen Whitmer: She Supports Abortion Up Until the Moment of Birth
October 27, 2022 | Michigan
Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and Republican candidate Tudor Dixon debated in the second and final gubernatorial debate of the state’s election on Tuesday, with abortion, parental rights in education and inflation being the debate’s top themes.
The very first question of the debate centered around Ballot Proposition 3, a measure to codify abortion rights in Michigan, which was supported by Whitmer. “We have an opportunity to enshrine Roe into law by supporting Proposition 3,” Whitmer said.

Dixon, by contrast, opposed the measure, claiming that it would “allow abortion up until the moment of birth” and allow “non-licensed professionals” to perform an abortion, making it the “most radical law in the entire country.” She said that it wouldn’t enshrine Roe into law, stating that “the people should decide what they want to do” about abortion, rather than making it a permanent part of the state’s constitution.
