South Dakota: "Screw Roe v. Wade"

[sspadowsky]

The South Dakota Senate voted 23-12 to outlaw all abortions except to save a woman's life. It will have to go back through the House, because of a slight change of wording, but the House already passed an initial version.

Unconstitutional? You betcha. Will it be struck down? Most likely- for now.

I love that this is being spearheaded by a man. And do you know how many women serve on the South Dakota Senate? Two.

My favorite part from the NY Times article:
"I didn't want money to be the reason people wouldn't vote for this bill," said Leslee J. Unruh, founder and president of the Abstinence Clearinghouse in Sioux Falls, who said she could not disclose the identities of those who had pledged money. "We're concerned with the 800 children aborted here every year."

No word on whether this moral crusader and her cohorts plan to adopt the 800 would-be babies each year.
