BREAKING: Restrictive abortion ban ~~ a repost
16 Republican lawmakers in Michigan — all men — introduced bills that would force women to have an invasive transvaginal ultrasound before an abortion, and would criminalize abortions as early as six weeks (before many women even know they’re pregnant).
If passed, these would be some of the most radical and restrictive abortion bans ever enacted.
These bills are so extreme that Right to Life Michigan, the leading anti-choice group in the state, won’t back the full package because they don’t think it will “stand constitutional muster.”
But that isn’t stopping the Republicans in Michigan. They don’t believe women should have the right to make their own health decisions and they’re going to do everything in their power to roll back the rights we’ve fought so hard to protect.
EMILY’s List is supporting seven pro-choice Democratic women running for office in Michigan, and electing them is the best thing we can do to stop this kind of legislation from getting passed — and getting copied in other states.
Thanks for all you do,

The Affordable Care Act’s Dramatic Impact On The Uninsured, In One Chart
Yesterday we wrote about some of the GOP health care myths that have been busted with the latest good news from research on how the Affordable Care Act is working. Well, right after that, another great piece of new evidence showed up. This time (with consideration for your Friday afternoon), we can summarize it in a single chart:

As the chart above reveals, according to the latest polling by Gallup, the rate of Americans without insurance dropped by 3.7 points between the fourth quarter of 2013 and the second quarter of 2014, from 17.1 percent to 13.4 percent. That is a dramatic decline that directly coincides with the open enrollment period for new plans under the ACA.
How’s that for some good news?
BOTTOM LINE: The evidence continues to roll in. Millions of Americans are getting covered thanks to the Affordable Care Act — including huge numbers of individuals who were previously uninsured.
