Rashida Tlaib: “This is a decision between a woman and her God and her doctor and her life, and only she knows how to make this…”

Dearborn is a beautifully diverse place, home to a vibrant, loving Muslim community, and our families do not deserve to be subjected to such hate and bigotry.

To all our Dearborn families and residents: I have your back. I wish I could take away this pain, but know that you are not alone.

People of all faiths and of all backgrounds belong, and deserve to practice their religion and celebrate their cultures freely without fear.

More leaders, including local elected officials, must speak out, especially against the local instigators participating in the spread of hatred under the guise of faith.
