FILE - In this Feb. 12, 2019 file photo, state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, R-Clarklake, appears at the state Capitol in Lansing, Mich. Shirkey is drawing criticism from state Democrats for likening abortion to the "scourge" of slavery. Shirkey told Hillsdale College's radio station recently that allowing abortion is comparable to "the scourge we endured when we still had slavery in this country." Democratic state Sen. Erika Geiss says Shirkey's remarks were "incredibly insensitive." (AP Photo/Al Goldis, File)
