MI GOP says criminalize women who want to save their own lives (abortion)

[UrbScotty]

On Saturday in East Lansing at their state committee meeting, the Michigan Republican Party (MIGOP) unanimously passed a resolution in support of the Citizens for Life ballot initiative. The initiative makes all abortions illegal, even in the cases of rape, incest or to save the woman’s life. The initiative also would outlaw forms of contraception as well as make those doctors involved criminals.

“By supporting the Citizens for Life ballot initiative, the radical right-wing Michigan Republican Party has moved even farther out of the Michigan mainstream,” said Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer. “The Party of Dick DeVos, Mike Cox and Terri Land unanimously voted to make criminals and murderers out of those women who choose to get an abortion because they were raped or want to save their own lives.”

Citizens for Life ballot initiative petition language reads, “A 'person', for purposes of the Constitution and laws of the State of Michigan, exists from the moment of conception.”

“The people of Michigan understand that the Republican Party’s extreme proposal is unjust, unfair and is one of, if not the most radical initiatives the state has ever seen,” said Brewer. “Michigan voters will overwhelmingly reject it and the Republican Party. We need to find ways to reduce abortions not make women criminals.”

9. What planet are these people from?

We need to send them back there, pronto. But I think this is just another attempt to get a ridiculous law like this passed in some state, to trigger a court case that will eventually end up at the Supreme Court.

2. The GOP is pro-rapist.

And notice nary a mention for whether a woman just might not ever want to have a child.

4. You mean ponzi / pyramid scheme sc-Amway asshole DeVos?

He and Tom "pizza face" Monaghan are part of the American Taliban.
I'm glad you made billions ripping off the public with your crappy products, Rich, now go away! Move to Monaco and live with the elite, or better yet, Saudi Arabia, that way you can exercise total control over your women.

These rich assholes need to go away and let real people fix this mess they've created.

God I'm pissed today!

Happy Easter.

7. My aunt used to do that

She never turned a profit, so she quit. Some friends of hers are still at it and have not turned a profit yet and they started at the same time as her some time in '86 or '87.

The Grant Hill for Ben Wallace and Chucky Atkins trade from the Magic to the Pistons. Let's put the guys on the crap end of that deal in charge of the state.
