LANSING, Mich.\u2014<\/span><\/strong>Today, Governor Gretchen Whitmer\u00a0signed legislation amending\u00a0the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination based on an individual\u2019s decision to\u00a0have an abortion. Governor Whitmer also signed a bill to\u00a0designate\u00a0January 30 of each year as Fred Korematsu Day\u00a0in Michigan.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cToday, I signed bills protecting and celebrating our fundamental freedoms as the foundation of our democracy,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span>Governor Gretchen Whitmer.\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u201cNo one in Michigan should face discrimination because they\u00a0exercised their\u00a0constitutional rights, including their right to\u00a0reproductive\u00a0freedom by\u00a0having an abortion.\u00a0The state of Michigan\u00a0also\u00a0recognizes the historic contributions to civil liberties made by Fred Korematsu, a courageous activist and\u00a0advocate who stood up against racism and\u00a0oppression.\u00a0These bills cement\u00a0Michigan as a welcoming beacon of opportunity where everyone can envision a bright future for themselves.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Senate\u00a0Bill\u00a018\u00a0designates\u00a0January 30 of each year as \u201cFred Korematsu Day.\u201d Fred Korematsu was born to Japanese immigrant parents in Oakland, California.\u00a0On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order No. 9066, authorizing the Secretary of War and military commanders to require all Americans of Japanese ancestry to\u00a0be placed\u00a0in\u00a0incarceration\u00a0camps. Korematsu\u00a0was arrested\u00a0at age 23 for defying the government\u2019s order\u00a0and appealed his case all the way to the United States Supreme Court. In the landmark decision\u00a0<\/span>Korematsu v. United States,<\/span><\/em>\u00a0the court ruled against him. Fred Korematsu later moved to Detroit and\u00a0remained\u00a0an activist all his life. His conviction\u00a0was vacated\u00a0on November 10, 1983, but the\u00a0<\/span>Korematsu\u00a0<\/span><\/em>decision was not overturned until\u00a02018.\u00a0Fred Korematsu Day has also\u00a0been recognized\u00a0in the states of Hawaii, Utah, Georgia, Virginia, and California.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThank you to Governor Whitmer for signing our legislation to make January 30 Fred Korematsu Day for Civil Liberties and the Constitution every year in Michigan,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span>state Senator Stephanie Chang (D-Detroit)<\/span><\/strong>. \u201cThis is a terrific way to celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month \u2014by formally recognizing how important it is that we learn about Japanese American incarceration camps and acknowledging the important contributions of Fred Korematsu to our history. Fred Korematsu was a civil liberties icon whose courage and conviction will serve as a model for generations to come. I\u2019m grateful to have partnered with Rep.\u00a0MacDonell, Sen. Singh, and former Rep. Kuppa on this legislation and excited that has now become law.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Senate\u00a0Bill\u00a0147\u00a0brings\u00a0state law in line with the passage of Proposal\u00a03\u00a0and the repeal of unenforceable abortion laws. It amends the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination based on an individual\u2019s\u00a0decision to\u00a0end\u00a0a pregnancy.\u00a0Currently, the\u00a0act specifically excludes \u201ca nontherapeutic abortion not\u00a0intended\u00a0to save the life of the mother\u201d from medical conditions protected\u00a0from unequal treatment. Senate Bill 147 removes this exception\u00a0and brings the\u00a0act in line with the constitutional amendment passed in November protecting reproductive freedom.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis bill is necessary to ensure the protection of civil rights for people who have abortions from employer discrimination or retaliation,\u201d said\u00a0<\/span>state Senator Erika Geiss (D-Taylor)<\/span><\/strong>. \u201cAbortion is\u00a0healthcare\u00a0and nobody should be discriminated against because of their personal healthcare decisions. Abortion is a constitutional right in\u00a0Michigan and the freedom to fully control our bodies, lives, and futures is vital to all of us. This legislation aligns with that right and ensures that employers cannot use their deeply held beliefs to discriminate against employees making personal healthcare decisions.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Governor Whitmer\u2019s Actions to Protect Reproductive Freedom<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Governor Whitmer is committed to using every tool in her toolbox to protect access to safe, legal abortion and reproductive healthcare services in Michigan. She worked with the legislature to repeal Michigan\u2019s extreme 1931 abortion ban, instructed state departments to increase protections for reproductive healthcare, signed an executive order refusing to extradite women or health care providers who seek reproductive freedom in Michigan, launched public awareness campaigns to educate Michiganders about the availability of no-cost contraception, and expanded access to birth control to more Michiganders.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
