Yes just to make the horror of rape even more horrible Republicans have been working overtime.

They are not alone
Michigan is the ninth state to restrict private plans from covering the procedure. Seven of the states — Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and Oklahoma — allow patients to purchase riders, just as Michigan will. Utah doesn't allow even supplemental coverage of elective abortions but lets general plans cover the procedure when the woman's life in endangered, her health is severely compromised or in cases of rape, incest or fetal impairment.

Which to my mind goes contrary to:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
Oh right...
My bad.....
Men.....
So......
You're a woman!
Are you insured for that?
When you start making laws that only concern one part of the population such as legalizing the right of government to assault you with a vaginal probe or demand you are insured specifically for a violent act before you can get access to the same health care as anyone else, what do you call those type of laws?
hmmm.......
Discriminatory perhaps?
There is no war on women ya hear!
Every time a Republican talks about women, it's targeting women for discriminatory laws, and goddammit we better be obedient or American Jesus will get miffed.
There is no War on Women!
Utter and complete bullshit.
