Rep. Tenisha Yancey, from the 1st District, offered the following invocation:

 

“Lord God, We come to You today with our hearts full of gratitude to say Thank You.

We thank You Father for giving us another day to do the work that YOU have called us to do.

We thank You, Father for the spirit of humility for we know that we are not here on our own merits Father God, but because You have created us to serve not only the people of the state of MI, but to also serve You Lord God! Therefore, we give You all the glory, honor and praise for blessing us to be a blessing to others.

We thank You Lord for Your grace and Your mercy not because of who we are, but because of who You are Father!  

You are Jehovah Shalom; and we thank You for peace.

You are Jehovah Jireh; and thank You for providing,

You are Jehovah Rapha; and thank You for Your healing,

And the only thing we have come to ask for today Father God is Your continued blessings. We ask that You continue to bless this body and our Governor to do the work You have called us to do. ‘For nothing will be impossible with God.’ So we ask that You bless us to work together as one and to align our goals with Your will.

We pray Father God that we will not just be speakers of Your Word, but doers Lord God, and most of all we ask You to bless this state, this country and this world we live in.

We know that we will not live in the flesh forever so we pray that when we depart this life here on earth that we have lived according to Your Word so that we may have eternal life.

We ask these things of You In the Name of Yeshua who is our Messiah, Amen.”

Motions and Resolutions

 

 

Reps. Brixie, Ellison, Manoogian, Shannon, Elder, Bolden, Stone, Hope, Lasinski, Guerra, Pohutsky, Sneller, Greig, Chirkun, Cynthia Johnson, Brenda Carter, Hood, Wittenberg, Coleman, Garrett, Cambensy, Hertel, Sabo, Sowerby, Gay-Dagnogo, LaGrand, Clemente, Tyrone Carter, Warren, Yancey, Byrd, Hoadley, Jones, Garza, Cherry, Love and Kuppa offered the following resolution:

House Resolution No. 220.

A resolution to recognize the 47th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court issuance of the Roe v. Wade ruling.

Whereas, The House of Representatives recognizes the anniversary of the United States Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade, decided on January 22, 1973, affirming that the Constitution of the United States safeguards a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions, and that government should not intrude in the most private and personal family matters; and

Whereas, Women’s reproductive freedom is vital to a woman’s health, economic security, and the ability to participate equally in society; and

Whereas, Comprehensive reproductive health care, including safe abortion, is a vital component of a woman’s overall health; and

Whereas, Like other medical procedures, the safety of abortion is furthered by evidence-based practices developed and supported by medical professionals; and

Whereas, Any regulation of medical care should have a legitimate purpose and if possible, be enforced in a way that increases, rather than decreases, access; and

Whereas, In the landmark decision Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt, the Supreme Court recently reaffirmed a woman’s constitutional right to access safe, legal abortion, confirming more than 40 years of precedent; and

Whereas, One in three women will need an abortion in her lifetime, and as such, safe, legal, and accessible abortion is an essential component of comprehensive reproductive health care; and

Whereas, Abortion is one of the safest medical procedures performed in the United States with more than a 99 percent safety record; and

Whereas, Everyone should have access to comprehensive health care in the state of Michigan. A woman’s right to access safe, legal abortion without burdensome restrictions imposed by a state is at stake; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative recognize the 47th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court issuance of the Roe v. Wade ruling. We denounce violence towards abortion providers and their patients; and be it further

Resolved, That we oppose efforts to undermine the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision by eliminating access to abortion in Michigan and throughout the country; and be it further

Resolved, That the House of Representatives affirms that all people have the right to access reproductive healthcare services without fear of violence, intimidation, or harassment and; and be it further

Resolved, That we affirm the right to access health care without interference in this state, including safe and legal abortion.

The resolution was referred to the Committee on Government Operations.
