Senator Whitmer is truly a profile in courage. If you have not already done so, watch her other passionate appeals on behalf of the citizens of Michigan. Senator - please consider running for national office.
I just recently saw this and thank you for being so brave to tell your story... and willing to be vulnerable to show such great courage! So happy you are our governor of Michigan now!
what a heroic thing to do, to open on such a personal experience, I truly hope it will not be in vain. she needs to be heard and the topic needs to be fully understood!
"Let the people of Michigan decide." What kind of fucking democracy denies the promised and necessary health care benefits to women, not even based on a democratic vote. How can U.S.A. regress to THIS extent.
What astounds me the most, is that the people of Michigan had no voice in this. Nothing should ever be decided upon for an entire group by a zealot private interest.
Thank you, Senator Whitmer, for your courage and compassion and common sense. If only there were a few more legislators like you, we would not be in the deep, deep trouble we're in now. I'm in PA, but I thank you for sharing your story and letting others who have no compassion but only a desire to hurt and control see the face of real leadership and statesmanship. THIS is what real legislators look like.

Thank you - you courageous, beautiful women. I will quote myself here: "I am a man, and consider any man that thinks rape culture is acceptable is a coward among us. They (all men who would consider rape) are a true weakness on earth - If I could change their minds I would, and at the very least I would humble them with a limitless courage to protect and defend by example.

Thank you, madame. And please stop shaming Michigan, world. It's a fringe effort that even our Republican governor was against - the majority is horrified.
They should have their penises licensed and bonded; after all, some men use their members as tools. And as entertainment. If anything ought to require insurance, it's a man's penis. And just think! That insurance could pay for his Viagra and Cialis, AND for the penile inflatable device he'd need once he breaks his penis from too-vigorous use during that 4 hours of blue-pill-enhanced inflation.
Two women who are running their respective states into the ground. JB Pritzger is another failure destroying Illinois as fast as he can. How many failures are needed to prove these policies SUCK?
You don’t have to ask, who are the monsters amongst us… All you have to do is look at the bills that they tried to install and look at who they are trying to attack…
So sorry that happened to you Gods peace to you I will say a prayer for you that God will heal you I have been through hell in my life it what I can tell you is what doesn't kill us makes us stronger and what the devil means for bad God will use for good and I never used to believe that but Iv seen it play out in my own life peace to you what you said takes guts I will pray for peace for you you don't know me but Iv went through a lot as well
It amazes me that invading women's rights is an issue again in this country. What is the appeal that republicans have in taking away the rights of women and others would go along with it? Who are these people, really?
If a woman is raped, becomes pregnant, and decides to have an abortion it is not the tax payers' responsibility to pay for it. The victim should file charges against the rapist, and he should pay for it and do time in jail. Another option would be that all women should carry guns in order to protect themselves against rape.
Women cannot file charges against an unknown assailant, who wasn't polite enough to leave his business card after he finished sexually assaulting her. To say it is a matter for the police shows that you are woefully uninformed, and have been blessed to not know anyone who was raped (though if they had and didn't want to share that traumatic experience with your small and judgmental mind, I could certainly understand). Next: GUNS are your answer?! At what age should little girls be trained in using firearms and be allowed to carry concealed weapons at any and all times, simply because they have a vagina that some bastard might decide they want to stick their dick into? Are all women therefore allowed to discharge a firearm lawfully, when they feel threatened by a potential rapist? Will all women be trained in how to shoot someone who is actively sexually assaulting them, and at one age would you like your daughters to experience a class that simulates a much larger man raping them and how to retrieve they their weapon, remove the safety, fire without hitting innocent bystanders, and not have their attacker simply grab their gun away and shoot them instead? Little girls, children, are also victims of rape. So also are those mentally challenged. Your ever so simple response of carrying a weapon implies that all females, regardless of age, mental capacity, felons or not, should carry firearms and be EXPECTED to use them. Can we also expect that insurance will provide a firearm to each mother who gives birth to a female baby? Your logic isn't simply flawed, it is altogether LACKING. Please cease talking about something you clearly don't know much about, nor have even bothered to give serious consideration to before blathering publicly about your flippant "solution".
Wow. Your ignorance is truly staggering. No. Carrying guns would not stop all rapes. The rapes in which a woman is drugged first, no. The rapes in which she is tied up and left bound up, no. The rapes in which she is beaten too severely to fire a weapon, no. The rapes in which she is murdered afterward, also, no. Do you think rapists hand them their purse after they have finished? Where is this gun, in the pocket of the clothes that were ripped off of them? Just cease talking. I'm not wasting another moment on your ignorance. Think about it, or just shut up. Your ideas about how to fix this crime are unrealistic at best.
Nick Riggin Are you KIDDING me??? 1. you have to be 21 to carry a weapon. Women over 21 are not the only people that get raped. 2. If a woman is small like me and not considerably strong, her attacker could very easily restrain her from reaching her weapon. 3. He could've drugged her without her knowing or come up behind her and knocked her out. 4. She could've been tied up. 5. Her weapon could've been wrestled away from her. 5. She could've been blind. 6. He could've pulled a gun on her before she reached for her weapon. 7. The woman may not have seen her attacker, therefore unable to even identify him. 8. She may have been physically or mentally disabled, and therefore unable to defend herself or not been sure how to, let alone communicate what he looked like and what the circumstances are or be able to identify him. 9. Less than 6% of rapists ever spend a day in jail for their disgusting, violent, abhorrent crime. 10. Many rapists kill their victims after they rape them. If she's tied up, theres no way she'd be able to make it to her gun to defend herself. 11. Sicko Republicans like Paul Ryan want to pass a law saying that rapist fathers can sue his victim for having an abortion, prevent a victim from having an abortion, and even be allowed visitation rights to women who chose to carry his demon child to term. No way in hell would Ryan or any other anti-choice sickass support the notion that the rapist should pay for an abortion. 12. NO, abortions are fucking NOT paid for by the citizens. Look up the Hyde Amendment. It prohibits the use of public funds to pay for abortions, moron. Just because taxpayers paid for this speech doesn't mean that they're paying for your private healthcare. Do i believe that women should have methods of defense? Yes, absolutely, everything from mace, to martial arts, to knives, to guns. Do I believe that that is going to stop rapes from occurring? Absolutely not. Do I believe that it's going to deter rapists from raping? Not at all. There are sadly too many ways to disarm a woman without even making obvious contact. There are ways to drug her drinks, put a chloroform cloth over her face when she heads away from her group of friends, and even inject her with a sedative. There are sadly too many women who, even if they were proficient with a firearm, would not be able to defend themselves during a physical assault because the rapist is just too strong. For someone like me who is small, recovering from a severe spinal injury, is inflexible, kinda slow, and not strong, what good would a gun do me if the guy has a hold of my arms? And if he takes my gun away afterwards, how am I gonna shoot him? Guns are not the answer. There are too many girls and women who cannot lawfully carry a firearm, who work in places where firearms are prohibited, who are unable to operate a firearm (people with broken hands/wrists/arms/missing hands/arms), and who aren't proficient with a firearm and could end up hurting an innocent bystander. I believe that those who are proficient with guns and can lawfully carry them should. But I am not so ignorant to believe that having a gun on your person will deter rapists.
do we have any more details on the circumstances of the rape? who did it, why did they do it, was it a violent assault, or was she just too drunk to consent?

the last part made my eyes, run wet. She is an incredibly strong woman, im a man, but i wish i was as strong as that woman
Bravo on your bravery as usual, Senator Whitmer. You speak on behalf of so many of us that have no voice.
What astounds me the most, is that the people of Michigan had no voice in this. Nothing should ever be decided upon for an entire group by a zealot private interest.
Seems like this law would force women not to report rape.
Disgusting

They should have their penises licensed and bonded; after all, some men use their members as tools. And as entertainment. If anything ought to require insurance, it's a man's penis. And just think!

For someone like me who is small, recovering from a severe spinal injury, is inflexible, kinda slow, and not strong, what good would a gun do me if the guy has a hold of my arms? And if he takes my gun away afterwards, how am I gonna shoot him?
Guns are not the answer. There are too many girls and women who cannot lawfully carry a firearm, who work in places where firearms are prohibited, who are unable to operate a firearm (people with broken hands/wrists/arms/missing hands/arms), and who aren't proficient with a firearm and could end up hurting an innocent bystander. I believe that those who are proficient with guns and can lawfully carry them should. But I am not so ignorant to believe that having a gun on your person will deter rapists.
LMAO
do we have any more details on the circumstances of the rape? who did it, why did they do it, was it a violent assault, or was she just too drunk to consent?
Hey look a woman hating psychopath
Harlot!
