State legislatures across the country are passing measures to limit -- and outright ban -- women's access to safe and legal abortion.
Lansing Republicans are waging their own assault on women's rights, passing bills that would prohibit women from accessing the reproductive care they need and deserve.
Gretchen pledged to veto every single one of these restrictive measures. Now, she's fighting back:

With women's health care under attack -- now is the time to speak up. Do you stand with Gretchen in the fight to protect a woman's right to choose?

While Democrats have won in recent statewide elections, Michigan's heavily gerrymandered districts have allowed Republicans to maintain control of the state legislature.
This gives Republicans and anti-choice activists a loophole to implement extreme restrictions on women's health care in a way that would bypass Gretchen's desk and authority.
That's why Gretchen is taking this fight head on and working with Democratic lawmakers to protect reproductive care for Michigan women.
"We are aware of how gerrymandered this legislature is and that this is an uphill battle, but that doesn't mean you don't fight. We're going to use every tool at our disposal to protect a woman's right to choose." -- Gretchen Whitmer
Stand with Gretchen: Tell Lansing Republicans we won't tolerate their attacks on women's health and make your voice heard >>

We're all in this together.
