Governor Gretchen Whitmer has been a vocal advocate for reproductive freedom in Michigan, taking significant actions to protect reproductive freedoms and expand access to reproductive health care.
In November 2023, Governor Gretchen Whitmer championed and signed the Reproductive Health Act (RHA) into law. This package of bills repeals politically motivated, medically unnecessary statutes that criminalized nurses and doctors, forced health care providers to close, raised costs for patients, and restricted access to abortion.
As governor, I firmly believe that every person should have the right to make their own decisions about their reproductive health. Reproductive freedom is fundamental to gender equality and bodily autonomy. I will continue to fight for policies that protect and expand access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare for all Michigan residents.
