Kerning, Ballots, and          Women’s Rights Janet Kuypers 9/9/22 Graphic artists, with typesetting as One of our begrudgingly used tools, Don’t expect to hear their jargon During women’s rights court battles. But it’s beginning to look a lot like Republicans will use any measure To stop women, and all the people, From fighting for their stolen rights. Here’s the scoop: approaching three- Quarters of a million people signed An abortion rights petition* for a vote, But word spacing, a term that we Graphic artists & typographers call “Kerning,” is now the sticking point Republicans claim is the reason this Crucial issue can’t be on the ballot. Really. Word spacing. That’s the Reason that you anti-abortion, anti- Women’s rights republicans use. There isn’t enough liquor to drink That would make be believe this is Your true excuse. It’s beginning to Sound a lot like... desperation on Your part to stop your unfair edicts From being questioned by rationality. For it’s beginning to feel a lot like Tyranny, where a select few make What they call “laws” to restrict the World, and we’re supposed to just Take it with no questions asked — Are we a dictatorship? Are we a Self-perpetuating autocracy in which The working classes** have no say? Well, the state of Michigan may try Shrugging off the will of the people, But battles pushed this to court. *** Emergency complaints were filed With the State Supreme Court: **** If type was unreadable, then why did so many read and sign the petition? Courts believed, on the exact day I Scribe these words, that yes, the words Were there, and they should be read By all who have the right to vote. It’s beginning to sound a lot like More of the same from people who Don’t have the evidence to support Their argument, so they sing a song Of a side-story so that they can avoid Talking about the real issue. Listen, We’ve been talking about it all along. You just haven’t listened.   * https://www.bridgemi.com/michigan-government/ 735k-signed-abortion-rights-petition-how-word-spaces-may-keep-it-ballot ** Monty Python and Holy Grail. http://www.mit.edu/afs.new/ sipb/user/ayshames/Python/PEASANT.PYTHON *** https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/ michigan/2022/08/31/voting-rights-ballot-proposal-headed-court- after-canvassers-deadlock-michigan-abortion-rights/7948041001/ **** https://www.politico.com/news/2022/09/ 01/michigan-abortion-rights-ballot-0005457
