LANSING, Michigan (LifeSiteNews) — The radically pro-abortion Democratic governor of Michigan is set to use her line-item veto power to eliminate more than $20 million in funding from the state’s budget bill over “anti-choice” concerns. The items slated to be eliminated from the bill would have supported adoptive parents and promoted adoption as an alternative to abortion.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who has referred to abortion access as “a great part of [Michigan’s] legacy,” will veto budget items in House Bill 5783 that would have allocated $2 million in tax credits for adoptive parents and put up $10 million to promote adoption as an alternative to abortion, the Detroit Free Press reported.
“Other expenses on the chopping block include $4 million for maternity homes expansion; $3 million for a maternal navigator pilot program; $700,000 for the Real Alternatives pregnancy program, which promotes ‘childbirth, alternatives to abortion, and grief counseling,’” The Washington Times noted.
