It has been 2 years since the corrupt, far- right Supreme Court gutted Roe v. Wade and stripped us of our reproductive freedom. There are now 21 States with an abortion ban in effect. Currently, one in three women are living without access to abortion care. I want you to think about this: Our bodies are now being regulated more than guns in our country. It is disgusting. They have not only targeted abortion but also undermined access to IVF, birth control, and family planning. Thankfully, I know in our State, Michiganders have soundly rejected the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe and voted to enshrine abortion rights and abortion care into our State constitution. MAGA extremists are not going to stop. They won't stop. They are pushing for a national abortion ban at the Federal level. Abortion care is healthcare, and we must fight back and pass legislation that restores access. People, Mr. Speaker, not politicians, should have the freedom to make decisions about their own bodies. We won't stop until we make reproductive freedom for all the law of the land and accessible to all our residents across our country. livonia tornado
