Tom Barrett Supports Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade to Take Away Our Fundamental Freedoms and Right to Privacy

Jun 24, 2022

The Supreme Court decision today overturning Roe v. Wade takes away the right to privacy and Americans’ freedom to make their own decision on whether to have an abortion. Tom Barrett 100% opposes abortion in Michigan, without any exceptions for rape, incest, and the life of the mother, criminalize doctors for providing safe medical services, and punish Michiganders for having abortions.

In the state legislature, Barrett introduced a bill that would effectively ban the freedom to choose in Michigan.

The stakes of the 2022 election could not be higher. With a majority of Michiganders supporting the freedom to choose, Michigan voters have a clear choice between extremist, self-serving politician Tom Barrett, who wants to roll back our freedoms and have the government make healthcare decisions for people in Michigan, and Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin, who will ensure that every person in Michigan has the freedom to make their own medical decisions.
