• Michigan women will now have to purchase ‘rape insurance’ to get an abortion

[quote]The Republican-dominated Michigan state legislature pushed through a bill on Wednesday requiring women to purchase separate insurance policies if they want to have an abortion, the Detroit Free Press reported. “I don’t think elective abortion should be a part of insurance,” state Rep. Nancy Jenkins (R) told the Free Press. “This doesn’t affect access to abortion. It will still be legal when this law takes effect. Who should be required to pay? Not Michigan taxpayers.” However, the law, which takes effect in early 2014, will also ban women from purchasing the policy after becoming pregnant under any circumstances, including rape and incest, causing opponents to refer to it as a policy on “rape insurance.”[/quote] [url]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/12/11/michigan-women-will-now-have-to-purchase-rape-insurance-to-get-an-abortion/[/url] What the hell???

This is most retarded shit I have ever heard of.
This can't be true.
How terrible of a person do you have to be to even think of something like this
What the fuck? Is this for real? Not even The Onion could come up with something as retarded as this. The US government is a joke.
This is ridiculous. Can someone remind me how people who approve shit like this have any sort of power?
Is this the onion?

[QUOTE=Excalibuurr;43159835]Will this also cover the fines if I rape someone?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't be surprised if it was.
They are literally trying to profit off of rape. That's scary.

the more weight you gain, the lower the insurance rate
republicans dont want their fucking tax money used on anything other than the military, do they?
[QUOTE=Conservatives;43159980]Except Michigan does not equal the US government please learn the differences between federal and state governments before making ignorant statements tia[/QUOTE] They're still an extension of the US government, which seems totally fine with what they are doing.
[QUOTE=Tmaxx;43160056]republicans dont want their fucking tax money used on anything other than the military, do they?[/QUOTE] And oil subsidies. Basically if it gives money to anyone who isn't already filthy rich, they'll have no part in it.
I love how republican politics really just boil down to "if people need X to survive, charge them for X"
I feel that Michigan is the state where all the crazy lawmakers like to test their fucked-up ideas like some kind of lab rat
[QUOTE=CommanderPT;43160060]They're still an extension of the US government, which seems totally fine with what they are doing.[/QUOTE] hahahah tell Republicans that state governments are an extension of the US government and see how well that goes for you. just stop please
Michigan residents need to protest this. this is a crime against humanity.
Absolutely baffling, to be honest. Like, it's actually kinda scary to think that there will be young women out there whose birth control will fail and essentially get told 'lol deal with it'.
Do you require insurance to have an abortion? Can't you just summon the cash?
I've discovered a level of rage previously thought by science to be physically impossible. Would anyone care to help me name it?
