Governor Ignores Michigan Citizens, Vetoes Partial Birth Abortion Ban

After passage in the Michigan House and Senate, Governor Jennifer Granholm wasted no time vetoing the Michigan partial birth abortion ban bill on Friday, June 13.

Prior to the bill being enrolled, RLM President Barbara Listing sent a formal letter to the Governor inviting her to discuss the bill. But the Governor declined to meet with RLM.

Governor Granholm was the only obstacle standing in the way of Michigan citizens finally getting their long sought-after ban on the late term abortion procedure.

ACTION ITEM: Contact the Governor and share your disappointment with her refusal to uphold this ban that the vast majority of Michigan citizens long sought to enact.

Michigan State Medical Society goes neutral on killing human embryos for research

Thanks to the work of prolife physicians and prolife legislators, the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS) has changed their position on embryonic stem cell research. Since 2003, the MSMS, which represents more than 14,000 physicians in Michigan, had an official position which favored embryonic stem cell research. During a recent gathering, the members of the MSMS adopted a neutral position on human embryonic stem cell research and will provide its membership with more information on the issue over the next year.

It's Time to Take Out theTrash!

Abortion is a dirty business. From start to finish, it’s all about lies and deceit. Abortion is a business run by people so motivated by greed, they can no longer see the blood and the guts. One such individual is Michigan abortionist Alberto Hodari. Throughout the years, Hodari has worked for a variety of different abortion clinics in Michigan and his long "career" includes dead patients, botched abortions, dismembered children, maimed women and numerous lawsuits filed against him.

In March of 2008, Hodari again found himself in hot water. This time for simply “taking out the trash.” The remains of aborted children and more were found in a standard dumpster outside of some of his abortion clinics. For more information about Alberto Hodari, visit this Right to Life of Michigan blog entry.

Get the Facts Before You Act
Questions cloud petition

People are circulating petitions to have Michigan's Constitution changed. The proposed change would allow the killing of human embryos in Michigan for stem cell research. Men and women hold your pens! Cures are being falsely promised by these paid circulators: cures for cancer, cures for people with spinal cord injuries and cures to diabetes. Much is being pledged if Michigan’s Constitution is changed. Unfortunately, what’s being peddled to get people to sign the petition are lies. Get the facts before you act.
