I am very heartened to learn that the people of South Dakota have taken it upon themselves to overturn their state legislature's ban on abortion.
They have collected double the signatures needed to put this referendum on the ballot.
What disturbed me most about South Dakota's state legislature's move is that their focal point was not what was good or bad for the consituents of South Dakota, but to be the wedge that got the abortion issue before the Supreme Court. The citizens of the state of South Dakota have spoken up, and they do not want their state tax dollars to go to defend this stupid ban on abortion, just so the wingnuts that run their state can get abortion before the Supreme Court.
Now to watch the measure, and see if it goes down in flames at the ballot box in November.
Kudos to the people of South Dakota for standing up to their misguided state legislature.

If some state passed a law again root canals, would that be OK? Or Jim Crow laws - you know, different hospitals for different skin colors - a lot of states & communities thought they had a right to pass those, too. Too bad there's a law against putting my foot up your sorry asshole.
I was following the attempt by a Native American activist to open a clinic on a reservation, but I lost track of that.
Whatever. My first official troll.
