Whitmer Neglected Republican Area With More Lead In Its Water Than Flint

As governor, though, she dragged her feet on helping another city that leans Republican and had dirty water saturated with even more lead than Flint’s. Now, her administration is scrambling to make up for lost time.

Benton Harbor is a city in southwest Michigan, 180 miles west of Flint. For the past three years, Benton Harbor residents have suffered from emergency levels of lead in their water.

While the cities’ water crises looked similar, their political leanings do not. Genesee County, where Flint is, voted nearly 54% for Biden in 2020, while Berrien County, where Benton Harbor is, voted for Trump by nearly 53%. Both cities are majority black.

In Show Of Pro-Abortion Brutality, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer Just Slashed Care For Pregnant Women From Michigan’s Budget​

Hide as she might behind activist judges, Whitmer’s budget vetoes show she and her fellow Democrats don’t value women — only abortion.



What Whitmer won’t tell the public, though, and what she and her fellow Democrats don’t want Michiganders to know, is that they want an abortion regime that permits abortion on demand for any reason until the moment of birth, paid for by taxpayers. And that is precisely what will be installed on the populace if the Michigan Supreme Court finds a right to abortion in the state constitution. Further, by using the Michigan Supreme Court to achieve this end, rather than the legislative process, Democrats can avoid the extremist label.

But while Whitmer’s rhetoric and her use of the judicial system to achieve her ends may mask Democrats’ intent, her line-item vetoes in last week’s 2022-2023 budget make clear where the party stands on abortion, even if she prefers the courts provide the bottom line: It is not about choice or helping women; it is about abortion first.

Whitmer’s stark strike-out from the budget of funds designed to help women choose life or to aid women who have chosen life says it all. The budget items she struck went much beyond assistance to pregnancy resource centers, which since Dobbs have strangely been in Democrats’ crosshairs. Whitmer actually struck $4 million allocated for maternity homes that provide “safe housing and comprehensive support services without charge for pregnant women who are without a safe home and in need.”

Whitmer’s line-item vetoes likewise exposed the revolting truth that Democrats prefer abortion to adoption. Here, the Democrat governor struck $2 million in tax credits to adoptive parents and $10 million designed to provide factual information to pregnant women about adoption as an alternative to abortion, including the birth mother’s ability to establish a pre-birth plan.
