Passionate Plea

Dear Governor Snyder,
My name is Heather Banet a Junior at Saline High School. I believe that the Michigan government should provide coverage for abortions when the women's insurance company does not. The number of abortion clinics in Michigan is only twenty two and they charge an average of 900 dollars per. In Michigan woman have to purchase a separate add-on to their health insurance policy if they want abortion coverage but most health insurance companies don't even offer it. Michigan's policies on abortion are in desperate need of positive change. My question is why are our beloved state of Michigan's laws on abortion unfair to women?

Rape is an obvious and clear example of why Michigan's abortion laws need reform. Abortions in the case of rape should be covered. Clearly, if abortion is not available through the woman's health insurance policies the state should pay for it. to help prevent unwanted pregnacies. It is no question that rape is a problem in the United States. If a woman is raped and becomes pregnant she should have the right to an easily accessable cost free abortion. The woman should not have to pay for this with out of pocket money because it was not her choice or fault in becoming pregnant.

Imagine your daughter is in med school at UofM. One night while walking to her dorm back from her late night biology class the shadow of a man looming over her appears out of the corner of her eye. She tries to run fast but she trips and a gun is put to her head. She is raped and becomes pregnant. working two jobs to pay off her debt. The nearest abortion clinic charges more than she can afford. Paying for this abortion would force her to drop out of college let alone raising a baby itself.


Thank you,
Heather Banet

Dear Governor Snyder,
My name is Heather Banet a Junior at Saline High School. I believe that the Michigan government should provide coverage for abortions when the women's insurance company does not. Only twenty two abortion clinics exist in Michigan (inverted). Nine hundred dollars is what they charge on average (inverted).  In Michigan woman have to purchase a separate add-on to their health insurance policy if they want abortion coverage, putting them in further debt, adding to the stress of their lives, but most health insurance companies don't even offer it (cumulative). Michigan's policies on abortion are in desperate need of positive change. My question is why are our beloved state of Michigan's laws on abortion unfair to women?

Rape is an obvious and clear example of why Michigan's abortion laws need reform. Abortions in the case of rape should be covered. Clearly, if abortion is not available through the woman's health insurance policies the state should pay for it to help prevent unwanted pregnacies. It is no question that rape is a problem in the United States. If a woman is raped and becomes pregnant she should have the right to an easily accessable cost free abortion. If a woman becomes pregnant as a result of rape, clearly not her fault, obviously unwanted, the woman should not have to pay for the abortion with out of pocket money (periodic)

Imagine your daughter is in med school at UofM working her butt off day and night, thousands of dollars in debt, and works two minimum wage jobs (cumulative). Walking home late at night, a shadow of a man looming over her appears, she runs as fast as she can, trips, falls, and is raped (periodic). A month later she discovers she is pregnant. The nearest abortion clinic charges more than she can afford. Paying for this abortion would force her to drop out of college let alone raising a baby herself.
Thank of your consideration of this important matter.
Sincerely,
Heather Banet

Sentence Length Challenge!
Cumulative:
The lion sprinted through the wind, mane blowing, determined black eyes, drooling saliva, grass against its legs, heart beating fast, hunger growing inside, sheep fifty feet ahead, a giant willow tree above brushing his back, passing by a still swamp, hearing the croaks of tiny frogs, sun shining into his face, with fluffy white clouds in the bright blue sky, kicking up weeds and dirt, and panting from the humid air around him. (at least 70 words)
Periodic:
Passing a waterfall, the river scintillating below, cold mist touching my skin, a plethera of green cacti in near sight, intimidated by the thirty foot rocky cliff to my left, saved by the dirt path under my rough bare feet, the smell of spf fifty, hiking up hill, overstuffed backpack adding to my exhaustion, and a chilled contigo bottle in my right hand, I have fully experienced San Miguel's botanical gardens.

Lost review

Survivors of a sudden plane crash find themselves on an unknown jungle island in the hit series Lost. The ongoing suspense throughout keeps the audience captivated in the misfortune of the plane crash survivors. It is a mystery wrapped inside of a drama, coated with action, and a bit of horror on the side. The adventure series causes you to think on your feet, never knowing what is going to happen next. It contains incredible depth both in character development and mythological intrigue creating an outstanding storyline.  
I knew of Lost for many years. Many tweets in my newsfeed read something along the lines of, "if you haven't seen Lost yet you are making a mistake." I persistantly ignored my friends' (true) statements and refused to watch the show. When I finally watched, I became addicted to a TV series for the first time in my life. My love for action movies and reality TV shows (such as Survivor and the Amazing Race) is perhaps one of the many reasons why I love Lost. Following the characters through an unpredictable complex journey in the jungle is an increasingly intriguing plot that never gets old.
