Anti-Abortion Petition Drive Falls Short in Michigan

[LiberalHeart]

LANSING (AP) A group that wants to make abortion illegal in Michigan has failed to collect enough signatures to qualify its issue for the November ballot. Michigan Citizens for Life needed to turn in more than 317,000 signatures of valid state voters to elections officials by Monday.

1. No doubt the Citizens for life will now mosy down to the Army

Recruiting Station and do something worthwhile for their country. Or maybe they'll find a gay bar to blow up. I know what Jesus will do when their (Citizens for life) time comes.

2. Aww, the mouth-foamers couldn't get enough signatures. Poor nutjobs!

3. HOT DANG!

I've always considered Michigan part of the more conservative upper midwest, along with Indiana and rural Illinois. I'm thrilled to find out they're starting to reject the fundy nutcase drive to create Calvinist Utopia by pushing women back into the Dark Ages.

Three cheers for the sensible people in Michigan. May they continue to find ways to repudiate the nutcases and religious right bullies.
