Y'all want to ridicule Southerners--but South Dakota's new abortion bill

[Maddy McCall]

is worse than ANYTHING considered in Southern state legislatures. If Roe V. Wade is ever overturned, South Dakota will make abortion a FELONY!

House panel approves measure to make abortion a felony

PIERRE, S.D. - Abortion should be a crime in South Dakota if states are given the right to outlaw the medical procedure, a House panel recommended Friday.

The State Affairs Committee unanimously approved HB1249, which would make it a felony to do abortions if Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion, is overturned. The bill would allow exceptions in cases where a pregnant woman's life is at risk.

Those who do abortions could face up to two years in prison and a $2,000 fine.

The committee changed the bill to remove a provision that would have made it a crime to advise women to seek abortions.

Rep. Joel Dykstra, R-Canton, the bill's prime sponsor, said it is designed to protect the rights of fetuses in case states are given the right to regulate abortion.

1. It's insidious enough without the 'southern' thing jchild

Holy tomolley, don't let this become a 'southern' thing, this is a VILE piece of legislation! Thanks for posting, any South Dakotans on who can tell is this has a prayer?

[Maddy McCall]

4. I am sick of DUers hanging every backwards piece of legislation...

or otherwise backwards political issue on Southerners. I'm just saying....it doesn't only happen in the south.

And you are right. This is insidious.

6. Well it is SOUTH Dakota!

XOXOX

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

8. LOL! And that's WAY north of me.

:-) :hi:

[WindRavenX]

2. ah yes, the "rights" of a the fetus...

...scary, scary shit.
When are they gonna make The Pill a contraband? :scared:

[Maddy McCall]

7. Or condoms? Or male masturbation illegal?

Taken to the logical extreme....

[northzax]

3. is there really nothing else for the SD legislature to do?

they're spending time discussing a bill that even they acknowledge is unconstitutional under current supreme court decisions? Guys, Roe v Wade ain't going anywhere for years. Don't you have something better to do?

11. One Bush Supreme Court appointment

And Roe v Wade is toast. And Rhenquist has cancer. We could be looking at the end of legal abortion in 38 states within the year.

[Maddy McCall]

12. Yep. I bet Rhenquist retires this year...

and after he retires, there may be several more retirements. It's going to be a sad day for women and minorities.

Wasn't Rehnquist one of the anti Roe votes?

They will still need another vacancy. Lets hope all our guys and gals can stay alive for 3.9 more years!

[smoogatz]

23. You're right--my bad.

Two appointments.

9. I wonder if all the Redneck dipshits who support bills like this...

... are opening the door to laws that would make smoking while pregnant child abuse.

I know the redneck bitch I work with couldn't make it a week when she found out she was pregnant.

[Maddy McCall]

10. This is just political posturing...

A wannabe statesman is trying to make a name for himself. Surely this won't pass the legislature. Are there not a few intelligent politicians in SD?

13. I despise anti-southern sentiment ....

Yet this seems an obvious attempt to create it ....

[Maddy McCall]

17. Yep, that's me...

fanning the flames of anti-southern bigotry. :eyes:

[Trajan]

22. "Y'all want to ridicule southerners ??"

DO we ? ...

All of us ? ...

You mean like we always do ? ... constantly, all of us, together ?

Same as it ever was ....
