Gov. Whitmer on Committee Passage of Reproductive Health Act Bills

Press Release

Date: Sept. 20, 2023
Location: Lansing, Mich
Issues: Abortion

"Today, we took an important step forward on the Reproductive Health Act, commonsense legislation to repeal politically motivated, medically unnecessary restrictions on abortion that criminalize doctors providing medical care, jack up out of pocket health care costs, and impose needless regulations on health centers.

Michiganders voted overwhelmingly to put abortion rights in our state constitution back in November. We must ensure that they can access the reproductive health care they need without delay, without paying high costs out of pocket, and without fear of prosecution for experiencing a miscarriage or a stillbirth.

Michiganders support the Reproductive Health Act. I urge the legislature to pass it."
