Michigan Anti-Abortion Bill, 'Most Extreme' In The Country, Barrels Through State House

Michigan Anti-Abortion Bill, 'Most Extreme' In The Country, Barrels Through State House

A massive, 60-page omnibus bill that drastically limits abortion access and could shut down all abortion clinics in the state is being rushed through the Michigan State House of Representatives on Thursday.

The bill was introduced just last week, but lawmakers held a hearing for it on Thursday morning and are sending it to a full House vote on Thursday afternoon. A spokesperson for Planned Parenthood Mid and South Michigan said about 90 people showed up at the Health Policy Committee hearing to testify against the bill, but Committee Chair Gail Haines (R-Waterford) abruptly ended the hearing and cut off all testimony after a Michigan Right to Life spokesperson and only a few others were able to speak.

There should be a rape provision. I disagree with that aspect of the bill.

Sounds like Michigan is headed in the right direction..

It is about time that some states step up to the plate and stop rewarding irresponsible behavior

The Senate has a republican SUPeRmajority.

If it passed the House without a supermajoity, why wouldn't it pass the Senate WITH a supermajority?

I guess so according to the logic of some.

That "limited government" crap only applies to businsses, Christians and wealthy folks, no one else is entitled to "limited government."

Are you willing to accept a massive tax increase to pay for all the new deliveries, child care, welfare, and food stamps that will be needed by getting your wish of taking away women's freedoms?
