Michigan Leads Today's Parade of Nincompoops with Requirement of "Rape Insurance"

Oh to be an old white man - and a legislator in Michigan.  After Michigan's crappy football season, AND dreaded Sparty in the Rose Bowl - they decided they had to take it out on someone, and the Republicans looked around and said, "Ahah! Rape Victims!"
.
Which might seem a odd group to go after, but apparently no Vagina shall escape their gaze.
.
So Michigan has just passed a law (LINK) to outlaw all private and public insurance from covering abortion, even in the case of rape or incest.  Unless you purchase a separate insurance rider that covers abortion in the case of rape.  Before the rape.
.
Senator Whitmer explaining why this is a bad law; Unidentified Senator called her a Harlot.

How fucked up mean spirited is this?
.
It's SO mean-spirited... even the pro-life Republican Governor has veto'ed it.  Twice.
.
But those old men, they are tricky and annoyed Big Blue isn't in the BCS mix and someone will pay.  Rape Victims.  So they figured out a way to pass it into law without the Governor's signature.  Because, apparently, well I don't know.. women who get raped deserve it?  Or .. oh yeah, they think it can't result in pregnancy.  Or - who knows what they hell they are thinking, or if they are thinking.  But it leads today's Parade of Nincompoops!
