So today the anti-abortion governor of South Dakota signed the "Women's Health and Human Life Protection Act" for his state. What it does is, "An Act to establish certain legislative findings, to reinstate the prohibition against certain acts causing the termination of an unborn human life, to prescribe a penalty therefor, and to provide for the implementation of such provisions under certain circumstances." but those circumstances are only if the baby is already dead and killing the mother, can an abortion be performed. No abortions will be performed under any other circumstances including in cases of incest and rape. Adding insult to injury to a raped woman, under South Dakota law, men who rape women have an unalienable right to any children their female victim might bear and are allowed both visitation and/or custody in some cases. So SD likes to repeatedly victimize their women. How quaint.
This of course, is South Dakota's way of directly challenging Roe vs. Wade now that the male Christian Right can have it's way with women again under law via laws changed by the Supreme Court. Wonderful. First Hilary Clinton sets us back 20 years by allowing her husband to cheat on her repeatedly and just taking it like the good little wife for her own career gains, and now Bush and his team of religious assholes get to decide to put us back on our barefeet, pregnant.
This is a ban on all abortions, unless the fetus is already dead.
Don't they mean the "Women's Suffering and Human Life Protection Act"?
