Protect a Woman’s Right to Choose

You can tell it’s an election year in Michigan. Our state legislators, including House Speaker Andy Dillon, are cowering to anti-choice forces that seek to limit a woman’s access to reproductive healthcare in Michigan. State legislators are pushing through an unnecessary and wasteful bill, which would prohibit abortion methods that were already banned by the ultra-conservative U.S. Supreme Court.

Not only is this bill unnecessary because it is already banned, it is political pandering at its worse—Speaker Dillon can stop this wasteful legislation, but he needs to hear from people like you.

Tell your representative and Speaker of the House Andy Dillon to stop wasting our tax dollars on an issue designed only to pander to anti-choice forces and attack women in an election year.

Michigan Senate Bill 776 prohibits a rarely used, yet medically necessary abortion method and does not provide an exception to protect a woman’s health. Furthermore, no matter what Michigan law says, this medical method is already outlawed here and across the country.

Tell your representative and Speaker Dillon that rather than wasting our time on divisive unnecessary legislation, we should work together to promote policies that support a woman’s ability to make informed and responsible health care decisions, prevent unintended pregnancies and strengthen families.

Let’s not let the contentious politics of abortion be used to drive wedges between us. Tell your representative and Speaker Dillon to work for progress in Michigan instead of continuing the wasteful and divisive antics that now define the Michigan legislature.
