The war on woman continues.If woman don't get out and vote these old ass mostly white men out of office around the country in 2014 they are nuts.Women should be having the biggest voter registration drive in the history of registering to vote.The only thing I'm worried about is they say most married woman vote who there husbands tell them to.And majority of the time thats republican. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/11/27/1258760/-Michigan-about-to-require-women-to-buy-rape-insurance-based-on-petition-signed-by-4-2-of-voters

"Thanks to a petition drive that resulted in 4.2% of Michiganders voicing their minority opinion, Michigan is about to become a place where women have to plan ahead for their abortions. If you become pregnant accidentally or if you are raped and become pregnant and haven't purchased a separate abortion coverage rider on your health insurance, you won't be covered. This isn't just for state government insurance plans or those purchased on the health insurance exchange. It's for EVERY insurance plan available in the state."

(15,183 posts)...to get as high as 4.2% signing a petition. If you get 4.2% of all of the voting age people in a state to sign a petition, that's likely to represent many more people who would vote for whatever the petition supports. 4.2% on a petition could easily represent a majority.
So while I'm all for calling for voting the teabaggers out as soon as possible, the petition results also show that a lot of change has to be encouraged in the population as a whole.
