The Michigan legislature is considering a pair of bills that would criminalize coercing a woman to have an abortion, a policy that has been pushed for years by anti-choice lawmakers.

“Coercive abortion laws like these are the byproduct of a decades long public and political campaign to market that anyone who seeks an abortion does so because she’s confused, misled or coerced,” Shelli Weisberg of the ACLU of Michigan told MLive.com.

While a requirement of the bills addresses women who are forced into terminating a pregnancy, that measure does not mention women who are forced into carrying a pregnancy to term. Opponents of the proposed law say that shows the real agenda behind such legislation.

“These bills are one-sided in that they criminalize only coercion to terminate a pregnancy rather than evenhandedly covering the whole array of reproductive coercion,” Mary Pollock, government relations coordinator for the American Association of University Women of Michigan, told MLive.com.

Anti-choice legislators, however, have said that is a separate issue and could be addressed in other legislation.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) suggested over the weekend that preventing women from having abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy was part of his state’s recipe for economic growth.
On Friday’s Washington Watch broadcast, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins ignored the economic disaster in Kansas, and praised Brownback for showing “Washington a thing or two” about improving the economy.
“It’s working,” Brownback agreed. “What we want Kansas to be is the best place in America to do two things: raise a family, grow a small business.

The best way to fix the economy? Force people with unplanned/unwanted pregnancies to have children they may or may not be able to provide for. Sounds super solid.

The idea seemed pretty straightforward. The fourth-grade class, made up of 9-and-10-year-olds from the Southeast corner of the state, worked on a proposal to make the Red Tail Hawk the official State Raptor of New Hampshire. The kids and their teacher brought their proposal to the state capitol, and it was approved by the Environment and Agriculture Committee.
But as the report from NH1.com’s Shari Small makes clear, on the floor of the state House, the children ran into unexpectedly fierce Republican opposition. The kids heard one GOP lawmaker argue, for example, in reference to the Red Tail Hawk, “It grasps them with its talons then uses its razor sharp beak to basically tear it apart limb by limb, and I guess the shame about making this a state bird is it would serve as a much better mascot for Planned Parenthood.”

Republicans are so obsessed with demonizing Planned Parenthood that they couldn’t NOT bring it up during a vote on a completely urelated bill made up by fourth graders... in front of said fourth graders.

Wisconsin's Republican-led state Assembly passed a measure on Thursday to make it more difficult to get an abortion by requiring women first undergo an ultrasound.
The bill, which also requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a local hospital, now heads for the desk of Republican Governor Scott Walker, who is expected to sign it into law.
Republican State Representative Pat Strachota said during a speech on the chamber floor that the bill was "about having full knowledge of the decision that women are about to make" when choosing to have an abortion.
The bill also requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their clinic.
According Planned Parenthood, its facility outside of Appleton, one of the state's four abortion clinics, will be forced to close because doctors there do not have the required admitting privileges.

This shit is happening all across the country. This isn't about women's* health. This isn't about improving conditions, keeping people safe, or improving education and access to contraception. These bills will in no way reduce the need for abortions, they'll only make abortions that much more difficult to obtain. These bills are about shaming women* and reducing access to choices that Republicans do not approve of. This isn't about what we need, it's about what they want.

I’m going North, if Ron Paul doesn’t get elected, and am going to become Canadian. They know freedom more than we do now.

But yeah. This is politics now. We need a revolution. Ron Paul 2012

Not that there's any chance that Ron Paul is going to be the next president, but if hell froze over and by some miracle of every god that has ever been believed in on this planet, I'd be going to Canada. Reaaaaaaaal quick like.

The Virginia Legislature has passed this law that allows — or mandates — that a woman who wants to have an abortion… they’re forcing women to get a vaginal probe. And it’s not for any medical reason — it’s just really to shame you if you wanna have an abortion. And (these) are the same people who say that ‘Obamacare is invasive.’ There’s nothing in ‘Obamacare’ that mandates the state put in an electronic dildo in your vagina — and that’s what’s going on under Republican auspices.

To clarify, the Tea Party audience applauding the prospect of letting poor people die is just one of many things wrong with the Republican party.

To clarify, I’m pretty sure they were applauding at the idea of freedom and personal responsibility, as opposed to the idea of letting poor people die. 
To further clarify, I’m pretty sure the context of the question did not involve “poor people” but someone who had chosen for themselves not to purchase health insurance because they “didn’t need it”, and therefore was forced to deal with the consequences of not doing so. Which relates to the idea of freedom and personal responsibility. 
To clarify even further, I think you missed the part where Ron Paul said that when he was practising medicine, his hospital didn’t turn people away who needed treatment but were uninsured. And you also missed the part where he says that responsibility should be placed on society, not government, to help people out, ie: churches, neighbours, family, etc, etc. voluntarily coming together to help someone in need.
To clarify some more for you, if people can’t afford healthcare, they can’t afford healthcare and a government bureaucracy to administer that healthcare.

Their idea of freedom and personal responsibility allows poor people to die. Their idea of freedom and personal responsibility dictates that health care is a privilege and not a right. I do believe that the government should administer that health care, what good is a massive defense department to a country whose citizenry is dying from being unable to afford tooth extractions?

How come the Conservatives/Republicans/Tea Partiers aren't responsible for helping out actual autonomous human beings in need but they are responsible for helping out the 'hoards of unborn babies killed by their mothers'? I mean, all of the C/R/TP responses are about personal responsibility and how they aren't responsible for people other than themselves yet when it comes to fetuses they fucking hurl themselves into that situation as if they were the pregnant one. What makes them responsible for a fetus but not the other humans around them? I mean, according to them, fetuses are people, too.

You're either responsible for saving lives, or you're not. Pick one, asshats.
