You would think the politicians would learn from seeing what happened with Akin and the others who made ridiculous decisions about women. Someone should rally the women to refuse sex until this law is overturned.
Michigan legislature has been a piece of work themselves lately. They passed Right to Work in UAW territory?
They also created a Failing Schools school district. They took all the Detroit public schools who were "failing" by standardized testing measures and put them in one district that the state runs. Recent headlines? Detroit Public Schools MEAP scores increase significantly. The state run district is doing worse than it was when it was part of Detroit schools.

You'd be surprised. Despite the national success of the Democrats in Presidential/federal level politics, the statehouses have not seen a similar, left-leaning shift, by and large.
Much of it, I think is just the cultural make up of the states, but a lot of "Akin" types come to power in off-year (non-Presidential) cycles, when turn out is notoriously low.
