Michigan abortion clinics are seeing an influx of out-of-state residents coming to receive abortion services, according to Planned Parenthood of Michigan, as neighboring states like Indiana and Ohio try to ban abortion in the wake of Roe v. Wade being overturned.

Enforcement of a law that banned abortion in Indiana a week ago is already on pause after a judge ruled Thursday morning to put in place a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of the ban. A judge in Ohio also recently paused enforcement of that state's abortion ban.

Whether Hoosiers have access to abortion or not today, both sides of the abortion issue say Michiganders are being impacted.

“Michigan is one of the only states in the Midwest to have retained access after the devastating supreme court decision overturning Roe v. Wade,” Ashlea Phenicie, communications director for Planned Parenthood of Michigan, said.

As Michigan wades through its own court battles over abortion access, other states like Indiana have essentially outlawed the procedure, making Michigan a haven for some still seeking abortions.

Michigan's pause on the state's existing abortion ban has lead to an increase in appointments since Roe was overturned in June, according to Planned Parenthood of Michigan.

“We saw the number of out of state abortion patients turning to PPMI for care triple,” Phenicie said.

The tripling in patient numbers has forced the state's Planned Parenthood to expand its capacity for both in-state and out-of-state patients.

Even with the abortion ban on hold in Indiana, Phenicie said they expect to continue seeing a high number of out-of-state patients coming into Michigan.

“Anytime there’s uncertainty, we definitely see patients looking to make a second plan or plan b, to make sure that no matter what happens in court cases that they can access care,” Phenicie said.

Genevieve Marnon, legislative director for Right to Life of Michigan, said the group is seeing an increase in out-of-staters, but adds they'll continue to try to convince people not to have abortions.

“Until abortion is unthinkable, we are going to continue to reach out to women,” Marnon said.

Michigan's abortion ban from 1931 has been held off by legal battles over the summer. Voters will have the chance to directly decide in November whether they want to change the state constitution to legalize abortion access, as a result of the Reproductive Freedom for All ballot petition making the midterm ballot.
