John,
I’m going to be clear from the start: Draconian anti-choice bills are being pushed around the country – and the Supreme Court could overturn Roe v. Wade. I’m worried, like many doctors, advocates, and Michiganders, that the clock on reproductive rights will be turned back 50 years.
Here in Michigan, the clock could roll back even further—all the way to 1931.
If Roe is overturned, Michiganders could be forced to live under a nearly century old, dangerous abortion ban. Michigan’s statute, one of the country’s most restrictive, says that providers who perform abortions are guilty of a felony.
In other words, the stakes couldn’t be higher. A future in which we lose the right to a safe and legal abortion is very real. And I am the last line of defense standing in the way of attempts to restrict access to abortion in Michigan.
That’s why I’m reaching out today. While I’m standing strong against attacks on reproductive rights, wrong-for-Michigan extremists and their special interest backers are attacking me.
Can you help me fend off extremist attacks – with a donation of $5 or whatever you can manage today? Help me keep Michigan from rolling back women’s rights 90 years.
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Thank you for being in this fight,
Gretchen Whitmer
