惠特默警告反对召开制宪会议：称1号提案威胁密歇根州堕胎权
兰辛——密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默10月1日举行记者会，公开反对今年中期选举选票上的1号提案——即是否召开密歇根州制宪会议。她警告，一旦通过，将威胁写进州宪法的生育自由、包括堕胎权。
按密歇根州宪法规定，每16年自动将“是否召开制宪会议”列入选票。如果选民投赞成票，将从每个州众议员与参议员选区选出代表，起草新宪法——可小修，也可重写；新宪法还需在2027年经选民批准才能生效。
惠特默在五分钟的发言中（未接受记者提问）批评支持召开制宪会议的共和党人：“他们的意图很明确。他们不想用制宪会议来扩大权利，而是想用它来削弱和破坏女性的生育自由。”州众议院议长马特·霍尔（Matt Hall）与州参议院少数党领袖阿里克·内斯比特（Aric Nesbitt）等共和党人支持召开制宪会议，认为州宪法可以简化；但两人并未公开主张借制宪会议限制堕胎，“密歇根生命权”组织则呼吁选民对1号提案投反对票。

Whitmer Warns Against Constitutional Convention: Says Proposal 1 Threatens Abortion Rights
LANSING — Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer held a press conference Oct. 1 voicing opposition to Proposal 1 on the midterm ballot — whether to hold a Michigan constitutional convention — warning it would threaten reproductive freedom, including abortion rights enshrined in the state constitution.
Michigan's constitution automatically puts the "con-con" question on the ballot every 16 years. If voters say yes, delegates elected from each state House and Senate district would draft a new constitution — tweaking details or rewriting it entirely — which would then need voter approval in 2027 to take effect.
In a five-minute statement without taking reporters' questions, Whitmer criticized Republicans backing a con-con: "Their intentions are clear. They don't want to use this convention to expand rights. They want to use this convention to roll back and undermine women's reproductive freedom." Prominent Republicans including House Speaker Matt Hall and Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt support a con-con, arguing the constitution could be simplified; neither has vocally backed using it to limit abortion, while Right to Life of Michigan urges a no vote on Proposal 1.
