“No weird people detected at the Tim Walz event last Friday! I was honored to meet this great Governor and VP nominee. We have a lot in common: - We're Midwesterners - We're dedicated to protecting abortion, expanding access to birth control and defending IVF and surrogacy care - We're both geography nerds - We both supported laws in our states that provided free school meals to every student - We're dog lovers - We're both dedicated to helping LGBTQ+ kids feel safe and welcome in schools - We're both on the ballot this November 5th!”

“I had a wonderful meeting with MSU students and my colleague Senator Sarah Anthony today discussing the serious threat Donald Trump and JD Vance pose on our reproductive freedoms. We are seeing in real time the chaos and cruelty Trump’s overturning of Roe v. Wade has unleashed across the country. If Trump and Vance get to the White House, their Project 2025 plan would move to ban abortion nationwide, even here in Michigan where the voters helped enshrine our right to an abortion in the state constitution. There is so much at stake - but I am heartened every day by my conversations with young voters like these who are following these threats closely and preparing to defend against them by electing Kamala Harris and Democrats up and down the ballot this November.”

“Not one house Republican voted for these bills. IVF, birth control and abortion care aren't anybody's business but patients and their doctors. Politicians don't belong in our bedrooms or our doctors office. Thrilled that Michigan will finally allow people to plan their families!”

“While IVF treatment has been horrifically threatened in other states, here in Michigan we're strengthening the right for families to grow on their own terms and ensuring they have every option available to do so.”

“There is so much more work to do because Republicans are still trying to push for a national abortion ban. Millions of people across the country have no access to abortion. What can you do? VOTE! Register and then vote for Democratic candidates up and down the ballot.”

“Mixed feelings today. 51 years ago the Supreme Court gave us the right to safe legal abortion with #RoeVWade. Then Republicans took that right away. I'm so proud to have voted to protect access to safe legal abortion here in MI, with the repeal of the 1931 abortion ban, but…”
