So it begins…
Coming soon to a conservative-dominated Supreme Court near you:
PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The Legislature on Friday approved a ban on nearly all abortions in South Dakota, setting up a direct legal assault on Roe v. Wade.Republican Gov. Mike Rounds said he was inclined to sign the bill, which would make it a crime for doctors to perform an abortion unless it was necessary to save the woman’s life. The measure would make no exception in cases of rape or incest.
Many opponents and supporters of abortion rights believe the U.S. Supreme Court is more likely to overturn its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion now that Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito are on the bench.
Planned Parenthood, which operates the only abortion clinic in South Dakota, has pledged to sue over the measure, which would become law July 1.
Everyone: Be sure to send a word of thanks to any unrepentent 2000 Ralph Nader voters out there, especially any who were residing in Florida at the time. All of you motherfucking "There's no difference between the Dems and the Reps, they're all owned by corporate America" shitheads are responsible for the war in Iraq and soon you'll have dead teenage girls and women on your consciences, if you have any.
Everyone who voted for Nader should be required to fund a trip to Canada for a woman whose right to have an abortion will be stripped away by Bush's Supreme Court.
