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.

Don't turn back time to women dying from botched abortions and in alley ways of big cities.

It's being done because the pols. are pandering to the political right. It has nothing to do with a woman's health. When are we women going to get the right to decide what's best for ourselves without the input of other people's ideas of what's best for us?

Get busy at what the citizens of Michigan really need, instead of these strange political games. Our doctors should be able to save our daughter's life if necessary. This bill is irresponsible and a waste of time!

Women should always have the right to choose. Always. But since this has very sadly already been passed at the federal level (despite the fact that it is harmful to women's health!), why do you insist on wasting precious time and taxpayer's money to try to get it approved on a state level? Stop pandering to anti-choice groups and in the future, support women rather than allow harmful laws to pass in the first place. Thanks.

Why do we need duplicate rules? If it is already a federal law, why waste time and money to make it a state law? I don't understand the logic. Thank you.

Let women make their own choices. This is not a government issue and should not be discussed at this level.

Don't allow party politics overrule the votes of thousands of Michigan voters. Silly rules should not be more important than the votes of Michigan citizens. I WANT MY VOTE TO COUNT NOW! Give the winner what the vote delivered.
