Comments on It's Baaaaack

It can be really difficult to pinpoint the exact age of a fetus. That's why docs use the mother's last menstrual cycle to figure that out. What a bunch of lunatics.

Let's hope the good folks (conservative as they are) of South Dakota vote this one down as well.

Too bad these otherwise very libertarian states can be persueded by right wing crazies. South Dakotan's (sp?) value their personally freedom enough to actually REPEAL their motorcycle helmet law. I hope the voters see the inconsistency and don't pass this.

They repealed their motorcycle helmet law?

That's Social Darwinism in action!

Since the late 70's, helmet required only for those 17 and under. In South Dakota, it's none of lawmakers business if you chose to splat your brain all over the highway. Get knocked up however, and they'll have a state trooper guarding your uterous until your a mommy.

Tom Daschle. Bill Janklow. Bob Barker. Abortion bans. Has South Dakota ever given us anything of value? Their best output was Sitting Bull, and they killed him. Give both Dakotas to Canada. Screw them.

Yeah, #6. Better yet: Give *us* to Canada, along with all of New England and the Middle Atlantic down to DC. (Except Pennsylvania -- the US can keep that).

If a woman has an amniocentesis - done preferably at 16 weeks - the results can take 2 weeks or more. Therefore, if the test results come back positive for, say, Down's syndrome, spina bifida, or cystic fibrosis, oh well, too bad, no choice for you, lady. You WILL have that baby. Never mind if you have no way to provide for a special needs child. Will the pro-lifers be eager to adopt these children, either? Doubt it!
These people make me sick!

"...blood samples from aborted babies would be sent to the police for DNA testing."

WHY? Why would the authorities need to have a DNA sample from a fetus that is dead?!?

These "pro-life" idiots obviously do not even hear themselves when they speak. One would think that every once in a while one of them might stop and ponder the rationale... -- oh, right. Never mind.

Many police departments don't have enough money to process the DNA from rape victims! So now they want to split that insufficient funding with processing DNA from dead fetuses... because clearly that's more important than catching rapists. :(

There's a reason that few people live in South Dakota.

That is a good question, how do we join Canada? What would Washington be like as a "Province"? Is there a membership fee or do we have to fight our way out of the Union? I am serious, this could be worth looking into....

I've always wondered why the "significant risk to the life of the mother" hasn't been open for wider interpretation.

I don't want a kid, and my life will be ruined if the state forces me to have one. My viable, full term life will not longer be the life I want or choose. Is that "risk" enough? It should be.
