Rape insurance? Is that really a thing? Well, yes, though the anti-abortion legislators in Michigan who passed a law Wednesday making it necessary don’t really call it that. They call it the “Abortion Insurance Opt-Out Act.” From now on in Michigan, all public health insurance plans and most private ones will not be able to automatically include coverage for abortion services in their comprehensive policies. Women will have to purchase separate riders in order to be covered for any sort of elective abortion. It doesn’t matter to the Michigan Legislature if the pregnancy is wanted but the baby has a medical condition incompatible with life. It doesn’t matter to the Michigan Legislature whether a pregnancy is the result of rape or incest. View Quote latimes.com |

All the law really means is that every payer doesn't have to subsidize the cost through their insurance.
It's just like what everyone is complaining about obamacare. |

Seriously Republicans. When the whole NSA thing came out all you had to do was, absolutely nothing until 2016 and you were fucking IN. That was it. It was that simple. Stop fucking around with your social meddling.

Meh. Fuckit. Sign me up for some abortion care and breastesis exams. Ole Doc sure is going to be surprised when he sees my weird lookin' vag.

I applaud them for doing this. And of course the narrative is spun and the simpleton mouth breathers fall for it.
Good move on their part calling it "rape insurance". I wish we had some people on our side with balls and skills to think and move like that. |

View Quote I wonder if this conflicts with obamacare. Maybe a SCOTUS showdown: illegitimate rape insurance v obamacare! Just in time for fall 2016? |

There are all kinds of legitimate reasons to terminate WANTED pregnancies. Will these not be covered as well?

I wish we had some people on our side with balls and skills to think and move like that. View Quote This. Lol, even look at all the arfcommers foaming at the mouth. From the article "Oh, and by the way, a woman who is already pregnant is not allowed to purchase the rider. Too bad for her! She should have known she was going to be raped and get pregnant!" No shit, you can't buy insurance after the fact for something. Can you buy full coverage on your truck after you totaled it or flood damage for your house after it was hit by hurricane Sandy and have it covered under your new insurance? I'm going to by $1,000 of insurance so they'll cover my $20,000 operation tomorrow. NO. It's about not forcing the taxpayers (me) to pay for other people's abortions. What spin. |

I'm morally against abortion, but think it should be legal for the first trimester (and only first). But come on, the mental gymnastics people use to call it anything but ripping out a baby from the mother's womb are pathetic. Next, they'll be calling it "preventative birth treatment" or some other bullshit. |

I think it's probably wrong and would never have my wife or any previous relationship get one, but at the end of the day, it doesn't effect me, so I really don't give a damn.
I am not happy to be paying for other people's abortion, public workers, government sponsored health insurance, ect. Go buy your own abortion insurance or pay for the damn thing out of pocket. |

And yet another example where the correct solution is ".gov GTFO".
How about you let the market offer what it wants, and you let consumers buy what they want? But as usual, we get democrats and republicans fighting over how they want to control you. |

Abortion is morally deplorable, as was slavery. This country wouldn't exist if the founding fathers hadn't compromised on that point. You avoid the fights you can't win so that you are able to fight the fights you can win.

I would love to pick and choose things that I'm covered for. I have little use for abortion, gynecologists, breast exams, birth control, etc... why should I pay?
I will not need those things in the course of my life and will impose no costs to the system for them. Making me pay for them, as under obamacare, is wrong and just another attempt to get me to pay for shit that buys Dem votes. I'm willing to bet that it was framed that way and the LAtimes went full retard with it. |

You are not the first to justify the murder of millions by classifying them as subhuman. Just as you belive it they did too. I take offense to the charge that abortion is the murder of babies. If you want to call it the murder of zygotes or fetuses, then so be it. They are NOT babies. Again, words have definitions, and they are important. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Like a dog to its vomit, so a fool returns to his folly.
If they keep this up they can say goodbye the Republican majority in the Michigan House. Up next no doubt will be a law requiring ultrasound and a waiting period to get an abortion. |

Why do republicans care if a group of primarily democrats abort the next generation of democratic voters? I don't get it. Is there some issue where if a woman has an abortion she votes D for life out of shame or loyalty or something?
