Please stop planning conferences, workshops, and events in states where pregnant people cannot safely travel

@m_scribe

Another suggestion:

If a woman is pregnant, do not plan to vacation in a State who has restrictions on abortions AKA: Medical care.

It's sad that women even have to think about this now but it's a reality.

@MiaLis79 @m_scribe Welcome to Michigan, where our governor, AG, and secretary of state are women, where the state's citizens embedded reproductive rights in the state's constitution this past year.

We have great winter sports and lovely lakefronts for summer fun. We look forward to hosting your conferences and your vacations.

Michigan Proposal 3 supporting abortion rights wins big | Bridge Michigan

With nearly 85 percent of the statewide vote in, support for Proposal 3, which would enshrine abortion rights in the Michigan Constitution, led 55.5 percent to 44.5 percent.

@femme_mal @m_scribe Proud or MI and happy for everyone who appreciates the positive changes being made to protect women & others!

We were actually looking into vacationing in MI this spring- I know the UP is nice but hard to find a place that is reasonably priced on water front. Any other suggestions?

@MiaLis79 Really have to book well in advance. VRBO would be one place I would check for listings, it's the site my cousin used for her place outside Marquette. Do try looking at some of the smaller inland lakes and not just the Great Lakes.

@femme_mal I was looking at VRBO in Muskegon but haven't found what I'd like.

Where are some nice smaller inland lakes? We only traveled thru UP once but Wow, so pretty.

@MiaLis79 I'd have looked near Sylvan Beach north of Muskegon and Norton Shores south of Muskegon. Try looking at an entire county at a time so you don't miss out locations just outside the target municipality.

Here's a list of nice inland lakes, but if you check by county you'll find popular lakes based on the number of rentals around them.
