Review Bill

Take Action

What to do now:

Tell Matthew they do not represent you:

This legislator is dangerous. Their position on abortion is completely out of touch: advocating for some of the most extreme abortion bans being considered right now.

What to say:

Call your legislator and make it clear that they are going too far. Try to urge them to walk away from their most extreme positions.

  • Introduce yourself, including your relation to the district.
  • Emphasize your role in the local community.
  • Explain why you do not agree with their position. Personal stories that exemplify the problems these bans would create are helpful.
  • Ask if they will protect the right to an abortion in such cases.
  • If they say no, ask them how they plan to fund more public childcare and maternal healthcare.

Review Bill

“I introduced a bill recently, which became HB 4481, which would provide state funding for alternatives to abortion so that Michigan women would have an easier time choosing life. Because of the passage of Prop3, which was cynically sold to the public as something it wasn't, this may be our best shot to actually save lives from abortion in the near-term. I want to thank the pro-life cosponsors of this bill: Jay DeBoyer, Greg Alexander, Matthew Bierlein, Angela Rigas, Gina Johnsen, Dave Prestin, Mike Hoadley, Brian BeGole, Luke Meerman, Joe Fox, Neil Friske, and Jim DeSana for standing up for life by joining this bill.”
