Stop the Political Attack on Choice in Michigan!

Target: Your Representative and Speaker of the House Andy Dillon
Sponsored by: Michigan Coalition for Progress
You can tell it's an election year in Michigan. Michigan's legislature is still wasting time and our taxpayer dollars on anti-women's health bills. Some state legislators are currently pushing through an unnecessary and wasteful bill, which would prohibit a certain type of abortion that was already banned by the ultra-conservative Supreme Court of the United States.

Michigan Senate Bill 776 prohibits a rarely used, yet medically necessary abortion method, but does not provide an exception to protect a woman's health. Furthermore, this medical method is already outlawed in Michigan and across the country.

Tell your representative and Speaker Dillon to work for progress in Michigan instead of continuing the wasteful and divisive antics that now define the Michigan legislature.

Dear [decision maker],

I am writing to express my disapproval of SB 776. This bill is nothing more than political pandering to anti-choice forces in an election year.

SB 776 is an unnecessary, wasteful and politically-motivated bill that seeks to ban an abortion method that is already banned at the federal level.

In addition, this bill prohibits a rarely used, yet medically necessary abortion method and does not provide an exception to protect a woman's health. Furthermore, no matter what Michigan law says, this medical method is already outlawed here and across the country.

Please stop wasting taxpayer time and resources with political votes that hurt women.

It should not be a matter of the state, any other entity, nor any person in general to determine what a woman wants to do with her body and what kind of decision she wants to make with her life. Due to these ridiculous laws that are put into effect, many woman are killed trying to perform the operations themselves, children are brought-up in un-fit homes or with parents who are mentally incapable of parenting, or stuck and brought-up in an orphanage. Unless you or anybody else who has "pro-life" views are willing to take these children in yourself, then you need to keep your opinions to your self and STOP creating rediciulous laws and wasting precious legislation time.
