The difference is insurance paid for by the taxpayers and private insurance which is what they sound like they are trying to control...
"The initiative would require that all health plans — not just plans under the Affordable Care Act — be stripped of any abortion coverage"
Its a little ambiguous in the article....taxpayers should have a right to dictate coverage THEY pay for....but to control private coverage is likely un-constitutional.

Legislative initiative? God what a stupid concept.

It's not unconstitutional, especially for a state government. How on Earth would that be unconstitutional?
Rape insurance? What fresh hell is this in the latest conservative battle against women?I thought they topped themselves with "creepy Uncle Sam", boy was I wrong.
"A legislative ballot initiative to ban abortion coverage in health insurance plans and require women to buy what opponents call “rape insurance” was approved by Michigan’s Secretary of State this week and is expected by many to become law because it cannot be vetoed by Gov. Rick Snyder (R).
On Monday, the Michigan Secretary of State certified that the group Michigan Right to Life had enough signature for the legislature to take up the measure. The group turned in 315,477 signatures, but only 258,088 — or 3 percent of the state’s voters — were needed. Snyder vetoed a similar bill last year, but Michigan’s constitution does not give him the authority to sign or veto legislative initiatives.
The initiative would require that all health plans — not just plans under the Affordable Care Act — be stripped of any abortion coverage, even in the cases of rape or incest. Women would have to purchase a separate rider to receive abortion coverage.
Because women could not purchase the coverage after they were raped, critics have referred to the rider as “rape insurance.”
“It’s not like, oh, I was raped and so now I’ll buy this rider,” Planned Parenthood Advocates of Michigan Director of Government Relations Meghan Groen told RH Reality Check. “Nobody is anticipating being a victim of crime.”

Are you to imply that ONLY men signed said petition?
lawmaking: how does it work?
Why must you create a strawman? Your logic is ridiculous
killing an unborn child should not be covered under insurance. Any medical emergencies that might develop as a result of an abortion are already covered under insurance. People shouldn't be asked to pool resources so someone doesn't have to pay the full cost to correct their mistake.
I do think exceptions for rape and incest are needed. But those are a small percentage of abortions. the vast majority are not rapes or incest.

1% said they were "a victim of rape"
0.5% "became pregnant as a result of incest"

Ok time to demand DICK insurance.
you put your dick in and someone gets pregnant then you have to pay a DICK fee to the state.
It means you have to pay for the kids you have forced to exist through shitty lwas designed to strip women on their rights to deside what happens to the very flesh inside their bodies.
DICK insurance coming to a state near you soon
