44% : In a July poll, commissioned by The Detroit News and WDIV-TV (Channel 4), about 68% of 500 likely GOP primary voters said they supported allowing abortion when a woman was raped or impregnated by a family member, and 75% said they support such exceptions in the case of a pregnant minor.
40% :Dixon has been endorsed by Right to Life of Michigan and has voiced opposition to exceptions that would allow abortion in cases of rape or incest.
31% :Entitled "No Exceptions," the ad from the organization Put Michigan First features Dixon speaking in multiple media appearances about her belief that abortion should be banned with only an exception for instances when the mother's life is in danger.
31% : Whitmer, on the other hand, has vowed to "fight like hell" to protect abortion access and has been pushing to end a longstanding Michigan law that bans abortion unless "necessary to preserve the life" of the mother.
