LANSING, Mich. — Sen. Thomas Albert, R-Lowell, issued the following statement on Thursday criticizing the state of Michigan’s new advertising campaign, which includes digital ads with the phrase “enjoy your right to reproductive freedom” and targets residents in several other states:
“The state of Michigan’s marketing efforts reached a new low with this campaign suggesting people should move here to ‘enjoy your right to reproductive freedom.’ It is ignorant at best and evil at worst.
“Using public resources to promote the death of innocent unborn babies is absolutely appalling. These ads are a massive injustice to both taxpayers and the poor souls lost in abortion. These insensitive advertisements do not reflect the values of all Michiganders, and they won’t do anything to reverse the state’s declining population — in fact, it may have the exact opposite effect.
“I call on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the MEDC to end this marketing campaign immediately.”
