A Little Good News…

Posted by on May 31 at 7:00 AM

Josh somehow missed some good news this morning out of South Dakota

An abortion rights group Tuesday submitted more than twice the number of the signatures needed to hold a statewide vote in November on whether to repeal South Dakota’s ban on abortion.

Repubs are always talking about "taking issues to the voters", especially when it comes to gay marriage (have seen this for the past 3 years in Massachusetts).

We'll see if they flip-flop on this stance with the SD abortion ban.

Woo hooo!

Excellent news, and not surprising either.

Interesting. Does South Dakota have touch-screen voting?

The cover of the current Atlantic has a lot of great analysis/predictions on the backlash to this legislation in the larger context of Roe v. Wade getting overturned. Required reading for anyone interested.
