Rachel Maddow Hammers Michigan's 'Rape Insurance' Law

Rachel Maddow Hammers Michigan's 'Rape Insurance' Law



Rachel Maddow was dismayed on Wednesday by new Michigan legislation that opponents call the "rape insurance" law. 



The legislation, passed in December, makes it illegal for insurance plans to cover abortion. Instead, women now have to purchase riders to their insurance in order to obtain coverage for abortion services. The law goes into effect Thursday.



Except that as of now, no insurers in Michigan sell the riders. Between Kansas, Michigan and Wisconsin, the  midwest is starting to smell like the south.
