   March. 14 (UPI) -- Michigan's controversial Abortion Insurance   
   Opt-Out law went into effect Thursday, implementing new   
   insurance requirements for abortions.   
      
   Supporters of the law say that it allows people who oppose   
   abortion to choose plans that do not cover the procedure.   
   Opponents of the so-called "rape insurance law" say that it   
   would require a woman to predict a rape and purchase insurance   
   before a sexual assault if she chose to have an abortion.   
      
   "This law unfairly punishes women simply for being women," state   
   Rep. Marcia Hovey-Wright, chairwoman of the Women’s Democratic   
   Caucus, said in a statement. “Women deserve the same access to   
   full health care as men receive, but only women are told they   
   must buy extra insurance to get it."   
      
   The debate got highly emotional when Michigan Senate Minority   
   Leader Gretchen Whitmer begged her colleagues to vote against   
   the measure after revealing that she was raped in college.   
      
   Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has vetoed the legislation before   
   but Michigan's Right to Life organization used the citizens'   
   initiative petition process to waiver the requirement of   
   signature from Snyder.   
      
   This state measure is part of a larger push to make insurance   
   exceptions to abortions and contraception, including the case of   
   Citizens v. Hobby Lobby which is being heard by the U.S. Supreme   
   Court.

   How about a mandatory death sentence for all interracial rapists?
