Yes, you read that correctly. In Michigan, women who are raped may not have an abortion if their rapist impregnates them. UNLESS they purchased what is being called rape insurance ahead of time. Result: women need to plan for being raped, and pay out of pocket in case they are someday raped. Your humble correspondent feels that rape Insurance is the wrong term. Really, its a tax on people who can become pregnant.
It is a tax on fertile women, levied upon their functioning uteri. A Uterus Tax.This is a 100% republican idea, pushed only by repubs, voted for only by repubs. Repubs have successfully imposed it upon women in Michigan, and plan to spread it across the nation.
America, you just voted to give the party behind such obscene ideas even more power than they already had. You voted for it, and you are getting what you deserve. Almost all eligible voters are to blame for such travesties as these.
Perhaps you didnt vote? By not voting against the GOPee, you helped Repubs to win.
Perhaps you voted third-party? See above.
Perhaps you voted Republican? You stupid f***, you truly do DESERVE this. Hope it hurts, motherf***er.
The only people who are blameless are those who voted for the candidate with the best mathematical chance to beat a Teapubbie. Every other eligible voter within the locale involved in a Repub outrage bears some measure of responsibility for the outrage in question.
This is just the first example of what America asked for during this weeks election. Look forward to years more of such revolting results. And as you are subjected to these manifold obscenities over time, remember: America voted for this. America asked for this. America demanded this. AMERICAS VOTERS MADE THIS HAPPEN. As the Politicos like to say, elections have conesquences.
Maybe well learn our lesson. Maybe after we get f***ed so brutally, so often, so painfully, the country will learn to ignore the propaganda, respect the facts, and get out to vote in our best interests for a damned change. Maybe.
But for the foreseeable future, we will all pay, as a nation, for the sins of the majority of actual voters.
