Michigan Governor Rick “NO, I’m Not That Rick Scott Douche Down In Florida” Snyder gave Michigan ladies a secret reach-around overnight by having the vagina haters in the legislature eliminate the total ban on aborting potential Baby Jesuses after twenty weeks in the hole:
Just hours before on the house floor, out of nowhere, a bill to ban abortions after twenty weeks just disappeared.
The civil rights group along with other pro-choice organizations was braced to lose the vote when it came up. But it never did and the lobbyist was losing sleep trying to figure out what really happened.
She and others may be shocked to find out what really happened is the governor, who calls himself “pro-life,” privately sent word that he would not support the 20-week provision. Notice that he did it without fanfare, no news conference, no nothing except sending word he was not on board.
This doesn’t mean that abortions in Michigan will go back to being cheap and readily available like, say, guns because the knocked-up sluts will still have to run an obstacle course set up by the God-botherers to prove that they are responsible enough to choose to not have that sweet little baby instead of just having the damn thing and getting it over with because that is so much easier in the short term and because that is how really responsible people make important decisions.
The end.

Whoa, pragmatism. They’ll kick Rick the Lesser out of the He-Man Woman Hater’s Club for that sort of thing.
I’m usually pretty good at figuring out what the pix are that you post, but what on earth is that?
Oh, and WTG Gov. Not Rick Scott!
Screencap from the best scene in Prometheus. Also, spoiler at the link.
Hey, speaking of being responsible The Wasilla
HillbilliesKardashians got reviewed by The Times…Thanks!
You know, there’s a reason that I pretty much confine my NYT reading to the columnists (every morning early) and the food, garden and obits pages. Now, where did I put the brain bleach…?
Romney/Palin 2012!
A reality TV dream team!
Took me a minute to figure it out. (The black angly thing is hiding the bits that the Michigaa legislature doesn’t want to talk about.)
I saw the review in the SF paper. It got the idea across.
Politically, it’s amateur hour in Michigan. Nothing like the organized brigades we’ve got down here in
Sick RottRick ScottvilleFlorida.There’s a reason (besides their stoopit paywall) that I confine my reading to the columnists daily. My friend Marion puts them up for free, and I’m never subjected to Brooks unwillingly!
Thanks, dear.
Oh, and T — these filthy posts must be curtailed.
Ass oui, vagina non.
Just delete the NYT browser cookie and there’s no paywall…
Somebody must have told him over half the voters are femal.
Yep. Figured that out about two weeks after they put it up. With geniuses like that running things, it is a miracle they stay in business at all.
A better call is that the Governor of MI is trying to buy his way out of the Vaginas which he has only set upon himself!
In a totes non-sechtual, non-touching of ladyparts as possible. Ew.
Chicken! Coward!
Got called on the shit storm, but not man enough to stand up to the whirlwind. What a surprise…. not.
Like everything else, allegedly non-negotiable “God” ordained beliefs that can never ever be questioned by God-bothering conservatives are just as fungible as everything else they stamp their feet about. Self-righteous prick can’t stand the heat… got outta the kitchen by ducking ‘n running.
Many are drawn to the vagina, but few are willing to face it head on.
Intertubes win in 17 comments, though is it fair if the owner of the blog is who wins the prize? In this case, yes, by virtue of the complete awesomeness of the comment.
Doubtful. Snyder makes up for what he doesn’t deliver on woman-hating with a healthy dose of neofeudalism.
