Michigan Legislature Repeals 1931 Criminal Abortion Ban
Religion Clause ^ | 3/10/23 | Howard Friedman

Posted on 03/18/2023 7:29:22 PM PDT by marshmallow

The Michigan legislature on Wednesday gave final passage to HB-4006 (full text) which repeals Section 750.14 and 750.15 of the Michigan Penal Code. These sections, which were enacted in 1931, criminalize abortion and require pharmacies to keep records of purchasers of abortion medications and of physicians prescribing them.

The bill now goes to Governor Gretchen Whitmer for her signature. It is expected that she will sign the bill. WZZM13 News reports on the bill. An injunction against enforcement of Section 750.14 had previously been issued by the state Court of Claims (see prior posting) and the section was effectively overridden by a state constitutional amendment guaranteeing reproductive freedom passed by Michigan voters last November.

The rigging of the last 3 "elections" in Michigan was a direct goal of the Michigan Uniparty.

If I know that the Michigan "elections" were rigged, the professional Michigan politicians who call themselves Republicans certainly know.

It all started with the ballot-gathering operation in the summer of 2018...

Michigan loses more people a year than any other Midwestern state. There’s very little economic activity to the point where Whitmer is begging the Red Chinese to do business there. Sad stuff for a once great state

Oddly, Governor Shinyface wHitler got 75,000 more "votes" ballots in 2022 than she did in 2018.

In a state with declining population.

In a state where she wasn't all that popular.

Well, except with the printing presses in the underground Michigan Democrat ballot factories...

Blame the suburban female morons in Oakland County who love their abortions and a moron named Tudor Dixon too dim to defeat the Caitlyn Jenner lookalike that is Gretchen Whitmer.

In 2020, the Michigan legislature was controlled by Republicans. Unfortunately, they were led by RINOs, similar to other swing states (Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, etc.). The RINOs facilitated ‘The Big Steal’ for the Democrats. They refused to fight for their constituents. This had a chilling effect on voter enthusiasm.

Here’s an example: Former House Speaker Lee Chatfield (R)

House speaker won’t allow Whitmer impeachment vote

Result: The Michigan legislature and executive branch are now controlled by Democrats.

Murder of the unborn is not “reproductive freedom.”

Reproductive freedom also doesn’t mean free from all unwanted consequences or responsibility.

Ask any guy who got spermjacked or had a gal poke holes in the condom, or impregnate herself from what was in the condom. No rights AND no freedom.

Perhaps the new law allows men the freedom to terminate an unwanted pregnancy...

Nah.

They just rigged it harder for future "election" optics.

You didn't explain how a sitting governor with lukewarm support got 75,000 more ballots than in 2018 - all while the state was losing population over the 4 years between "elections".

I'll give you a tell: In the Upper Peninsula, the Democrat voters are stalwarts, and rally around the donkey every election cycle.

However, most of the UP counties bled support for Shinyface - negative turnout for her from 2018.

But of course - their ballots aren't worth harvesting up there.

The fruitful fields of manufactured ballots are below the Mackinac Bridge...

The Assistant Democrats in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania know that they'll easily win their seats in the red districts.

If they hand the legislatures to the Democrats, they get the salary and pension without having work too hard - just pretending to fight with their mouths a few times a year.

Sweet gig.

" There’s very little economic activity to the point where Whitmer is begging the Red Chinese to do business there. Sad stuff for a once great state"

Granholm, the demTrash governor before wHitmer, begged Hollywood to do the same. When her term ended she fled to California. More recently the biden misadministration brought her to Washington to destroy American energy independence.

Excellent insights. RINOs wanted to be accepted by the popular kids in high school (Dems in Legislature) rather than stand up for “we the people” who voted for them. Just like the national ones.

However, I know there was rabid enthusiasm to vote for Dems and the abortion enabling proposal. That Roe v Wade leak gave them time to churn it all up. Without that Roe decision many Dems would have stayed home in boredom.

So for Michigan the overturn made it much worse than before.
The Constitutional amendment makes it totally impossible to curtail or stop abortions in Michigan, a new destination state for killing the pre-born.
