Yesterday, the year long work of republicans in my home state of Michigan came to fruition: women here will now need rape insurance just so they can make decisions about their own bodies. To make matters worse, when Gretchen Whitmer wanted to speak against this horrible law, republicans shut down the Senate so that the great people of the state of Michigan could not hear what they had done: make the wives, mothers, and daughters of Michigan buy rape insurance (you can read the statement she wanted to make at the link) so they can choose to not carry to term the product of a despicable act of violence.
Michigan's republicans are doing their level best to make our state as culturally and politically relevant as North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho--God only knows why the best and the brightest would want to stay in the land of increasing insanity, or businesses subject their employees to the whims of the batshit insane.
One thing is certain: come November, from Governor Gutless Rick Snyder, to Senate candidate Terri Lynn Land, to their majorities in the Michigan House and Senate, we need to make them pay.
Out of step with the times, out of office on their ears.
Peace,
