— Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has an answer for Democrats at odds over whether to emphasize abortion rights or the economy in the campaign’s final days: the two issues are one and the same.
Michigan GOP gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon has downplayed the effects of restrictive abortion laws and distanced herself from the state's draconian 1931 abortion law.
But Michigan’s candidates are testing a broader message aimed at employers and where they can best recruit and invest. added that protecting abortion rights will help stop the “brain drain” that has long plagued the state — graduates of Michigan’s top-tier colleges leaving for better prospects elsewhere. It’s a message Whitmer has pushed since at least this spring, when POLITICO obtained a draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court was poised to overturnBut Whitmer’s Republican challenger,
Meanwhile, anti-abortion groups that are investing heavily in electing Dixon and defeating the abortion-rights ballot measure predict these hard-nosed economic pitches from Democrats will offend voters and swing the results their way. “It’s a bag of lit dynamite for restaurant owners to speak up on, but I think it’s absolutely essential to recognize that this is an economic crisis in the making and the implications will be staggering if and when those rights are gone,” he said.
While companies that employ thousands of workers have spoken out against new restrictions in more than a dozen states, they argue, those companies have yet to take action.
Yes, abortion is great for business! Dismembering babies in the womb is quite profitable. Just ask Planned Parenthood as they work to further their Black genocide. Black women are ~14% of Michigan’s female population but had 55.6% of all abortions reported in the state in 2021.
Whitmere lied to the American people claiming schools were only closed for 3 months during Covid
That doesnt mean they will vote GOP, voters (women) will skew the polls
Won’t they be shocked when republicans should they win, won’t either be able to move the needle! This confirms Americans 1 priority is MONEY, NOT values, honesty, democracy & kindness
Wrong wrong wrong. The economy will get better, Roe will still be overturned years from now.
They might 'care' but they obviously don't know how anything works or they would never pick Republicans to improve the economy.
The economy is and will be fine, wait, watch and see, worry about how it was be4 1920, get out and vote women, no color needed, women need to know from a real man, it ur world, I'm a square trying to get a n** in it... don't fall for the okie doke, ur right r in jeopardy. vote
Let's kill the unborn because otherwise it's bad for business. Wow.
The economy will improve. Taking away a woman's right to choose will not return. Wake the fuck up America. Vote to protect our daughters!
You mean the 'economy' which they cannot afford to support out of the shameful wages paid in America?
I can assure any reader of this that women voters beg to disagree. Abortion WomensRights
Have to look out for number one before anything else
Vote out every Republican in November!
Crazy, it's almost like if you can't afford to eat why the hell should you be worried about abortion versus wondering where next week's meals are going to come from What's a more prescient issue? I expect a lot of women to vote with their stomach and not their uterus
Well, they didn't ask me! The right to bodily autonomy is democracy. And those are my BIG concerns. The price of chicken will go down.
I'm in Michigan. The GOP wants to keep us poor and pregnant. Michigan's women are going to bury them.
Politico is owned by a right wing magnate. They support the GOP no matter what, just read their headlines.
As most abortions aren’t the result of rape or incest, it would seem then that personal sexual responsibility is an economic issue. Don’t have sex if you’re not open to the reproductive aspect of it.
Well, most of us go to the grocery store far more often than the abortion clinic. So, this checks out.
Polls cannot be trusted. Voters, look with your eyes, hear with your ears and vote according to what your conscience is telling you. We are not in the America we know and love anymore. VoteBlueForDemocracy VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VoteBlueToEndTheInsanity
VotersBeware GOPQ bigots traitors don't have magic wand to improve economy which BTW is great, you all will be trashed by radicalized thugs if you let them kill democracy, SS, Medicare, they have killed voter, women rights Remember
Watch witch party becomes election deniers after the midterms November 8th
Politico is German owned.
Biologically, once pregnant, two lives at stake. o Both a ban and on-demand positions are absolute extremes with neither acceptable to the other. o Any policy needs to protect both the mother and the unborn human baby. o State level regulation is better in a Republic.
Duh...
The best thing for the economy would be to not only kill them, but also eat them. Hat tip to Swift!
Dah! Not everyone gets an abortion but everyone buys groceries, gas, heating, electricity
If the Democratic policies didn't kill our economy by stopping oil production there would be no inflation but all they care about is make sure you are able to kill your baby.
It's not a fact just because 'Democrats in the Rust Belt state' are arguing it. It's a fact in red states. It's a fact in flyover states. It's a fact in fascist Hungary. It's a fact for ALL the women Herschel Walker paid abortions for. It's simply a fact.
better be 'Rights ' the economy will fix its self . Get out and Vote Ladies ! should it be that the next 'generation', have less Rights then we ?
Like hell they can't... I said it before, Roe is just not the issue democrats thought it would be. No issue is going to cover up democrats incompetence
Worth noting is the fact that Republican administrations actually hurt the economy whereas the economy usually improves under Democratic administrations.
For both issues, VoteBlueIn2022
Як вбивство дітей пов'язане з економікою ? Democratic moment 🤡🤡🤡
Abortion is absolutely an economic issue. 1. Privileged people can travel to get one 2. If you're forced to have a kid, it can force you into poverty, force kid into poverty 3. Don't forget abortion bans prohibit lifesaving healthcare for wanted pregnancies and cause disability.
Bullshit. Women's Rights are more important than the economy. Ask any woman.
