Immediate, total abolition — no exceptions
Ferndale is Woodward Avenue's most-progressive Detroit-adjacent suburb — a dense, walkable city with the DIY Street Fair, First Friday art walks, and one of Michigan's most active LGBTQ communities. Politically it runs deep-Democratic; culturally it's the anti-Royal-Oak (older, weirder, more artistic).
The abolitionist argument in Ferndale is a minority position by design. But the city is home to Planned Parenthood on Woodward — the highest-volume PP in southeast Michigan — and a church network that includes Baptist, Catholic, and traditional Lutheran congregations that have never accepted the pro-choice framework. Abolition here is the case for the church against the culture, made in the city where the culture is most self-consciously secular.
