That’s it! I can’t take it anymore, so I have to speak out about the Michigan 109th State House District race.

We have all been inundated by political ads. The mud-throwing ads attacking Karl Bohnak are especially disturbing. The ads get very personal. One of the ads says when speaking about Karl Bohnak that “It is sad to a see a nice man go bad.” Another ad infers that “Karl and his panel of radical politicians” could impact the abortion rights in Michigan. The ads are amateurishly produced and have many misleading statements.

The ads that infer Bohnak or any other person running for office in Michigan could impact abortion rights in Michigan in my opinion are just wrong. In Michigan in 2022 Proposal 3 was passed, which was the Reproductive Freedom Initiative. This initiative passed with about 56.6% of the vote yes and 43.4% of the vote no. With the passing of Proposal 3, this codified reproductive rights in including access to abortion in the constitution of Michigan. It is my understanding that now that this is part of the Michigan Constitution, the only way it could be changed is if someone decided to gather enough signatures to get a new proposal put on the ballot at some time in the future and have Michigan voters vote on this issue again. The chance of that happening, in my opinion, is slim to none.

In one of the attack ads against Karl, a young girl asked if she had a say in her reproductive rights. The ad infers if Karl is in Lansing, she won’t. That is absolutely wrong after the Proposal 3 vote in 2022. To say she doesn’t have a say in her rights is simply a scare tactic.

A story on WLUC-TV6 showed the Hill campaign has spent $197,000 on ads, compared with Bohnak spending $57,000.

In the Nov. 5 election, you can make a statement about negative ads by voting against the Jenn Hill political team and the attack ads.
