“In a time when fearmongering and threats to women’s health and safety run rampant, we must take steps to address these critical issues at their core,” said Roth, R-Interlochen. “Many families turn to fertility doctors in their darkest hours, after months or years of trying and failing to conceive a child. These doctors are supposed to be trusted advisors, guiding women through the difficult process of assisted reproduction. However, state law fails to properly address situations where wicked doctors hijack a mother’s womb and violate every notion of trust that should exist between a doctor and a patient. The consequences for these heinous actions must be made to reflect the vile nature of fertility fraud.”

“I’m thankful to the Michigan Senate and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for finalizing this effort to honor Trooper Boland and his ultimate sacrifice,” said Roth, R-Interlochen. “Dedicating this stretch of US-31 in his honor ensures that his courage and commitment to public service will live on in the daily lives of those who travel this road. It is a lasting tribute to his legacy and a reminder of the risks our law enforcement officers take to keep us safe.”
