Today, SCOTUS will be discussing the future of abortion — AGAIN. In Michigan, we are using every tool we have to make sure that abortion care is available and accessible to all who need it. #BansOffOurBodies
Since Roe v. Wade was overturned, states have taken extreme measures to pry abortion care away from people all over the U.S. In Michigan, we continue the battle to protect your right to decide if & when starting a family is right for you. #BansOffOurBodies cnn.it/4d8WWv5

HB4064, which would create a model program of instruction in cursive handwriting & make the program optional for public schools, passed the Michigan House on April 14, 2023, 106-4. He was one of the no votes.

The first 3 bills of the Contraception Equity Package are on their way to the House for a full vote after passing out of the Health Policy Committee earlier today! Take action at bit.ly/3JnOiLB and tell your representative to vote in support of contraception equity! 🧵
Thank you, @vote4rogers, @RepStephYoung, and @KaraHope74 for leading the way toward contraception equity for Michiganders! Everyone deserves access to the best birth control for their body 💯💖🙌 #ContraceptionEquity

I would like to extend my utmost congratulations to the newest members of the House, Representatives-elect Mai Xiong and Peter Herzberg who will strengthen our mission to put people first.
#ReproductiveFreedom means the decision to grow your family when and if you want. That decision is between you and your doctor, not politicians. My family and I know how important that is, and I am proud to be in a position to help protect the freedoms of my fellow Michiganders.
They called us hysterical when we said Trump would appoint judges to overturn Roe. Now they call us hysterical when we say they are coming after birth control. We are not hysterical. You cannot vote for any Republican while the party policy is to deny women bodily autonomy.
“I was able to kill Roe v. Wade.” -Trump Trump wanted Roe overturned, & that happened. He said women are getting abortions in their 9th month of pregnancy. They aren’t. He said women seeking abortions should be punished. Trump policies will kill women.

You want to push abortion bans and punish women, Donald? Not on my watch. Michigan already said yes to reproductive freedom and no to MAGA extremism. And we're going to do it again in November. #bansoffmybody #Roevemberiscoming #abortionban
State Reps. @votepenelope and @RepKristianG discuss why Michigan Democrats are continuing to talk about abortion and reproductive issues this election cycle, although former President Donald Trump has not endorsed a federal abortion ban proposal. podbean.com/ew/pb-i3btd-15…
If kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers it would be against the law to take your kids to the circus. local10.com/news/local/202…
The decision on how to start a family should be between you and your loved ones. The Michigan Family Protection Act is about protecting that freedom without interference from a politician. freep.com/story/news/pol…
Don't let the legislative process be confusing anymore. I made a guide to explain it: michiganpublic.org/politics-gover… Side note: I cannot overstate how proud of this I am. I hope it helps and please comment about what else you'd like to see explained
Women deserve to make their own decisions about if, when, and how to have a family. Pass it on.
Access to fertility health care must be protected here in Michigan, and that is why my colleagues and I passed legislation last year so that ALL reproductive rights are safeguarded.
👏👏👏 Thank you for championing reproductive freedom for all Michiganders!

Last night, the Michigan House Education Committee held a public hearing in Sterling Heights to hear the community's concerns. Having access to high-quality education includes addressing the needs of our students' mental health.
