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.

Is this ALL you have to do?! Leave females alone! You deal with your body, your way. I will deal with mine, my way. Your obsession with the female crotch and plumbing tells me more than I want to know about YOU. GROSS!

SB 776 is a waste of time and taxpayers' money. We have serious problems to deal with here in Michigan, and this piece of legislation does nothing whatsoever to address them. Like far too much legislation these days, SB 776 is a "solution" to a problem that doesn't exist.

Stop this crap. We have some major issues to be dealt with and you people are unnessarily cluttering the time frame with useless, pointless legislation that you want to use to pander to your select supporters. Stop the bullshit.

This bill is clearly political posturing and a waste of time and taxpayer dollars. Enough pandering to right-wing lunatics.
