Michigan about to require women to buy "rape insurance" based on petition signed by 4.2% of voters

[appleannie1]

Thanks to a petition drive that resulted in 4.2% of Michiganders voicing their minority opinion, Michigan is about to become a place where women have to plan ahead for their abortions. If you become pregnant accidentally or if you are raped and become pregnant and haven't purchased a separate abortion coverage rider on your health insurance, you won't be covered. This isn't just for state government insurance plans or those purchased on the health insurance exchange. It's for EVERY insurance plan available in the state.

Perhaps they should require men to buy dick insurance to cover the cost of complications of Viagra. Those 4 hour erections causing their heads to swell can be expensive. Not counting the heart attacks and strokes it can cause.

1. Life threatening pregnancies

Would that also be part of the so called abortion insurance?

5. Isn't it men who need "rape" insurance? Will universal DNA testing of all

men be on the horizon? Doubt it. It's always the woman's fault. Doesn't this ridiculous rider ignore the health and safety of the child? The mother? Just more war on women Michigan style.
