As a mom, I know every parent wants the best for their kids—I do too. I’m proud to sign another historic, bipartisan education budget that makes the highest per-pupil funding in Michigan history, giving every kid in every district across our state the tools they need to succeed. pic.twitter.com/ZSkCVw9DMl

In addition, Whitmer used her pen to veto research grants that prohibit funding for stem cell research conducted on aborted fetal tissue.
Whitmer sent a letter to lawmakers on Thursday, saying “Any efforts to undermine a woman’s ability to make her own medical decisions with her trusted health-care provider will earn my disapproval.”
She went on to write, “Women and doctors should be making health-care decisions — not politicians.”
Whitmer has vowed to “fight like hell” for legal abortion. Meanwhile, she left health-care making decisions in her own hands during the COVID-19 pandemic when she left abortion clinics open but closed small businesses and schools.
On Friday, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said she’s established the “Michigan Parents’ Council” which she says will center parent perspective in the policy-making process.
Tori Sachs with Michigan Freedom Fund called out Gov. Whitmer’s record on Twitter.

This is a political distraction – voters aren’t falling for it! https://t.co/suH3H9sSeK
