Why wouldn't Republicans want the people to v**e on policies that affect them?
That would be a telling sign that Republicans do not believe in our Democratic Republic and they prefer to use force to govern. That force takes away rights, pits people against each other and nothing other than Autocratic Rule.
It's really simple to understand and you should remember this when you go to the Polls this fall.
When you v**e Republican you are v****g for all of the bad things they bring with them.
You may not approve of all of the policies of the Democrats, but they are our only choice if we are to remain
free people.

Michigan v**ers to decide a******n policy this fall after state Supreme Court ruling

The Michigan Supreme Court ruled Thursday that an initiative potentially enshrining a******n protections in the state constitution will appear on the b****t this fall, overcoming opposition from Republican e******n officials.
The Reproductive Freedom for All initiative, which is being pushed by an alliance of groups that includes the ACLU and Planned Parenthood, would make a******n a constitutional right in Michigan if it’s approved by v**ers. A******n law in the state has caused confusion since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, as a 1931 law banning a******n would have gone into effect but was deemed unconstitutional by a state court.

While the Bureau of E******ns verified that supporters had collected enough signatures by the July deadline, the two Republicans on Michigan’s Board of State Canvassers v**ed against having the measure on the b****t last month, citing issues with the spacing of the proposal’s language. While the two Democrats on the board v**ed in favor, three yes v**es were needed for approval, sending it to the state Supreme Court.
In the opinion announced Thursday, Chief Justice Bridget McCormack excoriated the Republican board members for rejecting the initiative, writing that more Michiganders had signed the proposal than any other in the state’s history and that the challengers “have not produced a single signer who claims to have been confused by the limited-spacing sections in the full text portion of the proposal.”
“That is, even though there is no dispute that every word appears and appears legibly and in the correct order, and there is no evidence that anyone was confused about the text, two members of the Board of State Canvassers with the power to do so would keep the petition from the v**ers for what they purport to be a technical violation of the statute,” she continued. “They would disenfranchise millions of Michiganders not because they believe the many thousands of Michiganders who signed the proposal were confused by it, but because they think they have identified a technicality that allows them to do so, a game of gotcha gone very bad.
“What a sad marker of the times,” McCormack concluded.
Additionally, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that a measure expanding v****g rights, which both Republicans on the board also v**ed against, would appear on the b****t this fall.

Democrats are hoping that the enthusiasm and anger stemming from the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn a******n rights for millions of Americans can help them in November’s midterm e******ns, which have historically cut against the party controlling the White House. Last month, Democrat Pat Ryan won a special e******n for the U.S. House in a New York swing district, focusing his campaign around a******n. Weeks before, a proposal that would have removed a******n protections from the state constitution of Kansas was overwhelmingly rejected by v**ers, with high turnout for a midterm primary. Since the Supreme Court’s decision, some states have seen a surge in women registering to v**e, while some Republican candidates have tried to back away from their extreme anti-a******n positions.
The stakes for this midterm e******n are particularly high in Michigan. Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel are both up for ree******n, as the party also hopes to gain ground in the state Senate and on the state Supreme Court.
Additionally, the nonpartisan Cook Political Report rates three of Michigan’s U.S. House races — two seats currently held by Democrats, one by a Republican — as competitive. A Yahoo News/YouGov poll released this week found Democrats with a slight edge on the generic congressional b****t.
Whitmer’s opponent, Republican Tudor Dixon, responded to the news of the ruling by writing on Twitter, “And just like that you can v**e for Gretchen Whitmer’s a******n agenda & still v**e against her.” Whitmer has been attacking Dixon for her views on a******n, which include bans on the procedure even for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. Dixon earned the support of former President Donald Trump in the primary after echoing his false claims that the 2020 e******n was s****n.

You should put as much energy into promoting contraception as you do into k*****g babies.
