Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed nine bills into law on Monday, overturning a 36-year-old ban on compensated surrogacy in Michigan. The Michigan Family Protection Act abolishes the state’s previous surrogacy law, making Michigan the last state in the country to reverse such a ban. Supporters hailed the move as a significant victory for family rights and reproductive freedom. The signing of the bills comes after years of advocacy from individuals like Tammy and Jordan Myers, who faced legal hurdles in bringing their children home due to the previous surrogacy ban. In response to the new legislation, advocacy groups have expressed concerns about potential impacts on parental rights and reproductive freedoms. However, Governor Whitmer emphasized that the new laws prioritize protections for women, parents, and children, marking a pivotal moment for familial rights in the state.
