- I cannot in good faith vote for misguided legislation that potentially harms our children. Kids should not be expected to make such difficult decisions. The child’s parents, in consultation with qualified medical professionals, are better qualified to make important decisions regard a child’s development – not lawmakers in Lansing. What we need to instead focus on here is expanding reliable access to mental health care.”
