LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Independence Day is usually a day to celebrate the founding of our country and our victory over the British. However, the Michigan Democrat Party saw it as an opportunity to talk about freedom – the freedom to abort babies.

Michigan Democratic Party chair Lavora Barnes send out an email on Tuesday with the header saying “Today is Independence Day.”

Even with all of the victories to secure abortion rights in the state, the Michigan Democratic party is pushing for more abortions in Michigan and elsewhere.

The email started out by saying, “Today marks 247 (sic) since America declared independence and the beginning of a new wave of democracy with the core values of freedom, justice, and liberty. Since the birth of our nation, we have made great strides in terms of democratic progress. Yet, there have been critical setbacks in terms of equality and freedom.”

The email continues, “As we reflect on our nation’s history and impacts, it’s important to acknowledge the rights we have lost and fought back for like abortion access in Michigan. Although we have made progress in Michigan, many states throughout the country are still without these rights and protections.”

The email ended with “We must continue to come together and fight for equality for everyone – especially right now when so many are facing challenges. Today, we need to commit to voting, organizing, marching, and fighting until everyone feels the independence, justice, and liberty this nation was promised. 2024 is going to be an important year to fight for our rights and guarantee a bright future for our democracy.”

Some might say it’s a little ironic that the state’s Democratic party is using the “birth” of our nation to stop the birth of the Americans in that nation.
