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.

If you are truly committed to improving the lives of Michigan women, please work with women's health advocates and policy makers to promote a woman's ability to make informed and responsible health care decisions, prevent unintended pregnancies and strengthen families. Please do not waste our tax dollars and time on an issue designed only to create divisiveness and gain personal political favor from anti-choice forces. Please do not hold purely political votes on a procedure already banned under federal law. Instead, turn your attention to real problems facing the state. Sincerely Jean Côté

Why don't you move on to issues like helping Michigan residents who live below the poverty line instead of wasting time on issues that are none of your business?

Keep religion out of politics. Jesus said to render unto Ceasar's that which is Ceasar and unto God that which is God.s. So did the Founding Fathers. If somebody believes family planning is wrong then they can feel free to have a dozen or more children. But if somebody chooses to have one or two children then that is their choice and not to be imposed by government. Isn't America a free country anymore?
