1. I'm embarrassed to be from here. Honestly.

Used to be a fairly progressive state. Now with the right-to-work bullshit and other legislation, I'm not sure anymore.

2. I remember. It isn't just Michigan this kind of nonsense seems to be happening all over. Look at

South Dakota, state that gave us George McGovern, the have been pushing a lot of draconian legislation, as have other states that were traditionally blue

I really hope this kind of insanity start the people to vote these rethugs out

7. Michigan is ‘way more insane than anyone nationally gives them credit for’

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow weighed in on Michigan’s “rape insurance” law on Wednesday, one night before it takes effect, saying it is just one example of state lawmakers’ anti-woman stance.

“Michigan, you are amazing,” Maddow said. “I continue to maintain that, over the last few years, Michigan’s state government has become way more insane than anyone nationally gives them credit for.”

The bill, which was approved by the Republican-dominated state legislature in December 2013, bars women from undergoing abortions unless they purchase separate insurance policies. However, those policies cannot be purchased after a woman becomes pregnant, even in cases involving rape or incest.

“It will now be illegal for your private health insurance in Michigan to cover your abortion unless you thought ahead and bought special coverage just for that,” Maddow explained. “As if lots of people plan ahead for unplanned pregnancies.”
