Why The "Ultrasound" Bill Pisses Me Off So Much

OK, so Mich already has a an informed consent law (passed in 1993) this law requires that: A woman seeking an abortion be given certain information at least 24 hours beforehand. The info includes a written summary of the abortion procedure; illustrations of fetal development corresponding to the gestational age nearest the probable gestational age of the woman's fetus; and prenatal care and parenting info. So, women in Mich are already fully aware of what exactly will happen/ does happen to the fetus during an abortion. I guess that is not enough for these Inquisitioners, b/c in addition to HB 4446 (Ultrasound Bill) they are proposing House Bills 4246 & 4247. These bills would bar health insurers from providing coverage for elective abortions except by an optional rider for which the policyholder has paid an additional premium. They're sponsored by Rep Scott Hummel (R-DeWitt). Insurance companies already throw a HISSYFIT if you dare to see a specialist or go to the ER... how do you think they will feel about the possibility of paying for all of the medical problems that seriously disabled children will rack up when their parents cannot pay to elect to have an abortion when they find out that their baby will be born w/ abnormalities? But once again, screw you baby, and screw you moms & pops... better keep your legs closed and your fly zipped. And another thing, technology and science is only handy for them when they need it to propel their agenda, but when it comes to issues like global warming and evolution, technology and science are tools of the Devil and completely incorrect, right? I'd like to make it mandatory for all GOPers to undergo a CAT scan so we can see if they really have brains in their heads and an EKG to see if they really have beating hearts in their chests before they're allowed to take office.
