Michigan Governor uses veto to ELIMINATE pro-life programs from state budget

The woman who almost became Joe Biden’s Vice President just eliminated all pro-life programs from her state’s budget.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer used her line-item veto to strike adoption and pregnancy programs that were meant to provide an alternative to abortion.

Here’s more via Breitbart:

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.

State Republicans reacted strongly to Whitmer’s line vetoes targeting pro-life initiatives, insisting that by doing so she was limiting women’s real-life choices, rather than expanding them.

Whitmer’s vetoes “support only one option for women in a crisis pregnancy — the deadly choice of abortion,” said State Rep. Thomas Albert, chair of the House Appropriations Committee.

“It is shocking that the governor, and her far left political base, are now so extreme that helping pregnant women who might consider adoption instead is now a bridge too far,” Albert said.

It’s one thing to want women to simply have the choice of getting an abortion in your state. It’s wholly another to want so badly for women to murder their babies that you eliminate all pro-life alternatives to abortion from getting state support.

I know the left is irate about the Supreme Court decision reversing Roe v Wade, but one would still think a reasonable pro-abortion politician would still support the life-alternative given that abortion is murder. For years this is all I heard from liberals who would argue with me about abortion, saying there needs to be more programs to support women, to give them more choices if they don’t want to keep their child.

Well these days there are many more pro-life choices for women and yet the governor of Michigan, who is so beholden to enshrining baby-murder in her state, refuses to allow support for them in the state budget.

It’s hateful and it’s evil.
