According to a report from Bridge Michigan, the State of Michigan has lost an estimated 43,200 people since 2020, a sharp departure from gains made during the previous decade. The nonprofit, nonpartisan news organization also says births in the state have been plummeting, death rising, and more people are leaving Michigan every year than residents are moving in.
With those numbers dogging the office of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, some wonder how her new digital ad campaign touting the easy access of abortion in the state will help those numbers.
