Outlawing Abortion...

(I guess this supplements Emily's recent post- see below)

As some of you may be aware, the Governor of South Dakota signed into law a bill that outlaws abortions state-wide in December of last year. Although there are some exceptions (preventing the death of the mother, for example), this new law poses many threats to the financial, physical, and emotional well-beings of the numerous women of S.D. who will seek to have the operation performed in the future. For example, before the legislation that was issued from the Roe v. Wade case took effect, many women in the US had illeagal abortions (which severely jeopardized thier health). If this new law isn't appealed, many more women will take the same actions and put themselves at similar risks. I feel that this new law is not only a direct violation of a number of human rights (the most central of them being "Health"), but I also feel that it was passed under the persuasion of religious motives (those of the Governor and of his many coservative supporters). To learn more, you can visit the post link, or the one below.

two things. a) this reminds me of dirty dancing, when the girl has to get an abortion and the guy used a dirty little dagger to do the abortion, and baby had to run and get her dad and get in trouble and all that. (don't forget... NOBODY PUTS BABY IN THE CORNER)

and b) it said that abortion is legal under the special circumstances that the mother could potentially die, and that's some bullll shit. you mean to tell me, that it's okay to kill the phetus when the mom would die, when, if we are going by nature and god and what was meant to be, if the mom was meant to die, then let the woman die! did that make sense? hope so, cause i'm out. peace.
