Gov. Whitmer Deletes Pro-Life Programs from State Budget

THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D. 21 Jul 2022

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (D) used her line veto power Wednesday to eliminate state support for adoption agencies, pregnancy facilities, and maternity homes proposed as alternatives to abortion.

Before signing the $76 billion state budget, Whitmer cancelled a $2 million adoption tax credit, $10 million to promote adoption “as an alternative to abortion,” $3 million for a maternal navigator pilot program, and $700,000 for the Real Alternatives pregnancy program, which promotes “childbirth, alternatives to abortion, and grief counseling.”

Whitmer’s budget will, on the other hand, significantly grow state government by adding some 535 full-time positions to the public payroll, the Detroit Free Press reported, a whopping single-year increase of more than 1.3 percent.

A staunch supporter of Roe v. Wade and a right to abortion-on-demand, Whitmer said she is “pulling out all the stops” to enshrine abortion rights into Michigan state law, which helps explain her hostility to programs designed to offer women choices to abortion.

OK, so nothing new here, Marxist guv gonna Marxist.

But wasn't Whitmer despised for COVID lockdowns and such?

The GOP gov. primary is 2 Aug.

It looks like it will be Tutor Dixon according to polling.

Who loses to Whitmer in that same polling data by as much as 37 points.

Freedom is not popular.

Dixon held a slight lead over her opponents among likely Republican voters, according to the poll. She received 19% support, with 15% saying they would vote for Rinke. Around 13% expressed support for Kelley and 12% said they'd be checking Soldano on their ballots. The poll found that with the primary election just two weeks away, 38% of voters still remain undecided.

Considering Whitmer and the Democrat machine in Michigan have arrested or disqualified most of the GOP candidates, they must want to run against Dixon.

Whitmer, who is running for the Democratic Party's nomination unopposed in the Aug. 2 primary, will face on the winning GOP candidate in the Nov. 8 election.

There’s some Soviet Democrat commitment to “democracy”. One candidate in the race.

When "pro-choice" means reducing options and eliminating alternatives:

Nothing she has done here will serve to "enshrine abortion rights".

It is possible to be "pro-choice" (i.e., to support abortion rights) without also denigrating alternatives to abortion.

Whitmer is not "pro-choice". She is "anti-life". There is a difference.

Just saw a segment about Kemp vs. Abrams. Didn’t remember a primary election with Abrams, now I know why. I’m sensing a pattern here.

2022 gubernatorial campaign

Main article: 2022 Georgia gubernatorial election

On December 1, 2021, Abrams announced she would run again for governor of Georgia.[90] She ran unopposed in the Democratic primary on May 24, 2022, and will face Georgia governor Brian Kemp in the general election on November 8, 2022.[91]

Bolded the most important part here. 2020-today has perhaps an immeasurable amount of evidence that proves this true. And I'm done arguing with libertarians here, there, and everywhere who still want to say "everyone's a libertarian, they just don't know it!" or "liberty is popular, we have to spread the message!"

No, those things are NOT true. We have far more people who like being bent over and rammed by the State because they want modern comforts over freedom. They want perceived "security" over responsibility. And it's stuff like this that will make me continue saying libertarians voting for libertarian candidates polling at 2-5% is a wasted vote in most cases when you legitimately have marxist democrats vs. dumb republicans. My vote will go to the dumb republican because there's hope they can be crafted a little. The marxist? Not a chance. They're evil and know very well what they're doing and how much they can get away with, usually.

And that's pretty much how I have come to view things as well.

The purists can howl until they're blue in the face, with both of us understanding that nothing of any consequence will be solved at the voting booth, I'll take a stupid Republican over an evil Jacobinite-Marxist any day of the week.

And how much luck have you had banging your head against a rock trying to convince libertarians, some of whom are actually pro choice, to vote republican just because you are pro life? If pro life as an issue is important to you, then wouldn't you be better serve...I dunno...convincing people to be pro life? I think "Louder with Crowder" can be an ass sometimes, but in this video he does more to undermine Gov. Whitmer then you do complaining about libertarians not voting the way you want them too.



And there are {b]SOME[/b] republicans that I find just as evil and dangerous as any Jacobine-Marxist. Like the lady that recently said "The church should direct the government." Ummmm...HELL NO! That's what we had heretics were actually being burned at the stake! Voting for a church-statist versus a Jacobine-Marxist is like having to choose between Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. I refuse to make that choice. And considering our current "woke pope" it looks like somebody (Satan) has all the bases covered anyway.

I have no desire to convince these people.

You'd be better off spending your time trying to teach a pig to whsitle.

The majority speak as if they have an IQ of about 75.

I do not wish to convince them, debate them, sway them or argue with them.

I just want to not share a country with them anymore.

Then why do you care who libertarians do or do not vote for?

 

[Invisible Man]

Do I understand correctly that the position of most here is to support government spending on the adoption programs listed in the OP?

Do I understand correctly that you think "most here" wouldn't be happy about this if Planned Parenthood was also getting its state funding cut at the same time?

Or are you just trolling again?

Why do you think the two "choices" the two party system gives you aren't libertarian and communist? Instead of cutting half the government largesse half the time, and the other half the other half of the time, we'd wind up with all the largesse cut all the time. Where'd the kickbacks come from then? Much more profitable to keep people having arguments like this one.

Of course not. And I'm not sure why you would think that I think that.

Or are you just trolling again?

No. And I don't recall a previous instance when I was.

I don't understand how these questions relate to anything I said.

That's OK. I'm sure most of the people who read this thread do.

While I have zero doubt whitmer is a death cult commie I dont really care what michigan cuts out of its state budget . Place is a shithole and it wont be turned around because it is one of those places that has huge cities full of commies that make up the majority of the voting base. Best thing a freedom minded michigan person could do is move to rural Indiana or Kentucky and find a small groove where you can be happy. It cant be salvaged up there.
