Governor Whitmer Signs Final Piece of Reproductive Health Act

Press Release

Date: Dec. 11, 2023

"Ten years ago today, I was in the Michigan Senate, fighting against an unconscionable anti-choice bill that would have forced Michiganders to pay extra for insurance every month just in case they were raped or had an unwanted pregnancy. I shared my own story as a survivor of sexual assault and noted that any decision about a woman's body ought to be hers alone. Exactly ten years later, I am proud to be repealing that same bill as governor. I am proud that in just over 18 months, we have gone from the repeal of Roe v. Wade to expanding reproductive freedom in Michigan with the passage of Proposal 3 and the Reproductive Health Act. Let's keep protecting every Michigander's fundamental freedom to make their own decision about their own body."
