South "Loonyville" Dakota

What in the world are they smokin' up in South Dakota?

Those loony South Dakota Reps have passed a bill in the South Dakota House outlawing abortion, should the Supreme Court ever agree that they can.

Here is some of the mindless insane hogwash that comes out of that place.

(Sponser Joel) Dykstra said health is a term that cannot be easily defined, and abortions should only be allowed if a woman’s life is in danger.
"If we open the door to a fuzzy line called health, I would argue that the purpose of the bill would be compromised," he said.

Rep. Elizabeth Kraus, R-Rapid City, said no exceptions should be made in cases of rape or incest. It is rare for raped women to get pregnant, but allowing them to have abortions is no different from raping them again, Kraus argued. "The welfare of the mother and the child are never at odds, even in sexual assault cases," she said. "In a sexual rape, a woman is robbed of her purity," Kraus added. "In this medical rape, she is robbed of her maternity."


Robbed of her maternity???? It's not like women are forced to have abortions. They choose to have abortions. Now if the government forces them to have the child, then they are being robbed of the ability to decide what they want with their body and their life.

For the love of God and all that's holy, we need to STOP these people!
