The latest from Betsy

Mrs. White is 93 and has many stories of growing up in Traverse City, like walking miles to school even in winter. She welcomed me into her cozy home and we had a lovely chat. She plans to vote in person, and said “you will protect abortion rights. That’s very important!”

“…women do not owe men a debate to defend our right to reproductive freedom. Period. I had this rule long before I met you- ever since I found my way out of a Right to Life church dominated childhood run by men who tried to control women.”

A national abortion ban would wipe out our hard earned protections in Michigan. This is unfortunately still very much a “real topic” in Michigan and apparently so is banning hormonal birth control per your R colleague Rep Schriver who proposed it this week.

“24 hour wait period is not at all reasonable. We don’t require it for other procedures and it disproportionately harms women girls and pregnant people who are poor and/or from rural communities where it’s already a major burden to travel many hours to get needed abortion care.”

“Bigotry is bad for business.” Fav quote so far of SOTS from @GovWhitmer re: repealing 1931 abortion ban & expanding Elliot Larsen civil rights act to protect LGBTQ+ folks. Not only is it the right thing to do but it builds our economic draw. Proud to co sponsor.
