Pierre, SD (LifeNews.com) -- A South Dakota Indian tribe is throwing a monkey wrench into the state's plans to ban virtually all abortions in the state. Should the ban become law, one tribe says it will open up an abortion business on their tribal lands, which wouldn't be subjected to the abortion ban.
Cecilia Fire Thunder, president of the Oglala Sioux tribe of South Dakota, says Sioux nation sovereignty means the new ban doesn't apply. As a result, she said she will lead an effort to build a Planned Parenthood abortion center at the Pine Ridge Reservation.
“To me, it is now a question of sovereignty,” she told Tim Giago who runs a web site called Indianz.com.
“I will personally establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on my own land which is within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation where the State of South Dakota has absolutely no jurisdiction," Fire Thunder said.
A former nurse and health care worker, Fire Thunder is the first woman president of the Sioux nation.
Ah, help the paleface kill hisself off.
open up an abortion business on their tribal lands, which wouldn't be subjected to the abortion ban
custer, where are you....
Just stop patronizing their casinos. They'll get the message soon enough.
I wonder if they'll used Cherokee Hair Coathangers?
Do Indians actually need an abortion mill in their reservations? Is this a cruel joke?
Yea, that'll be the day. Go tell Grandma not to play bingo because there's abortion clinic. ROFLMAO!!!
Time top stop all subsidies to thew tribes!
I guess this is their version of Sharia law...
Interesting. Hadn't thought of this angle. But it really doesn't throw a monkey wrench into anything. If the Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade (considering the bench is doubtful) and the issue were to return to the states, theoretically there would be situtations much the same between states that kept abortion legal and those that didn't. You would have abortion clinics in those border cities as well.
Krikee, mate, I'd say ditto, except I'm not sure what you said.
Predictable. If the courts hadn't gotten involved in this issue, we would have been a country where those people who feel disgust about abortion would have banned it and those people who feel comfortable about it would have legalized it. Americans were heading in this direction before Roe v. Wade. There is nothing in the Constitution that directly addresses the issue of abortion; therefore, it's an issue left to the states and the people. The people of South Dakota want to ban abortion. Good for them. The Lakota people want to support it. I won't say "good for them" but if that's the way they want to govern themselves, that's their business. The Lakota people are a soveriegn people living in the United States, anyway. Until there's an abortion amenedment in the Constitution, this is a local issue.
Amen to that. Are these people crazy?
It may be funny to you, but many grandmothers DO care about babies being slaughtered for the sake of sexual promiscuity.
time to put all that territory back on the tax roll.

Yea, but they won't give up BINGO for it. Believe me.
No problem, just set up a blockade of the roads leading into the Indian nation. Only residents could pass. I give it about 48 hours with empty casinos before the peace pipe was brought out for a round of huffing and puffing.
'Scuse me, Mr. Noble Savage...exactly how does the willingness to murder babies in the womb fit in with that whole "worship the Great Spirit, one with the universe the great Earth Mother "thing?
You beat me to it . I thought Indians were in love with life.
Now, why would they want to kill off their babies? (I know...white women would come, too, but I'm afraid that the majority of any clinic's vict...er, customers, would be Indian.)
Abortion is not a choice among Native Americans.
Well, there's your problem.
I respect native Americans, but I wonder if the elders of ages past could have foreseen a 2006 in which the principal sources of revenue for NAs is gambling, trinkets and perhaps abortions. Some of this is paleface's fault, but it's still unsettling.
Exactly. The notion of a nation within a nation is nothing but preservation of white guilt. Enough of it already.
It doesn't. Government Schools have fried these Indians brains.
My grandfather use to tell me, "Becareful around white people...they only think of themselves...and they kill like children. (He meant undisciplined, or for sport or fun.)
Oh...he was an Indian.
You can find a local church 7 nights a week playing bingo.
They've been tainted by liberals at the BIF and Government Schools.
We'll see what happens. I suspect the few protests won't make a dent on the bottom line.
I don't know much about that but would like to find out. There are reservations all over he!!. One here in downtown LV that you can buy smokes at. ??
At any rate, they may have their reservation to do this on but one has to get to the reservation.
I could project some quick - and very lengthy - maintenance work (total rebuild ?) on the roads connecting your reservation to our STATE. Total traffic disrutpion and all that. So sorry, price of progress, ya know?

amen...
Chiefettes.
The indians rely on the state police to police there nations, Yet they don't believe they should follow a law like this. So let me get this straight...They could murder an outsider and then let the crime go unpunished if they choose to do so?
I've long argued that it's time to abolish all indian reservations. The whole concept is so 19th Century.
They're a pale echo of the promises made by palefaces. Until the Injuns don't want them anymore, they'll be.
The majority of America abortuaries are located in the inner city black community.
Not surprising, since the eugenicist Margaret Sanger, (Rudy Giuliani's hero, btw), made it clear that she wanted to do away with anyone with darker skin pigment than hers. Everything has very much gone according to her plan.
The Sioux are foolishly helping the people who will gladly finish off their tribe and people, given the opportunity.
If an abortuary ever went up on the reservation, the vast majority of the children butchered would be Sioux.
Chaos Theory meets the Law of Unintended Consequences.
Probably so, but since a few Indian elite have figured out how to turn the rules into something which is not much different than organized crime, only "legal", the chances of them being eliminated are quite slim.
Casinos, cigarettes, and apparently now abortion clinics. Why they haven't done the whorehouse thing is beyond me. It's a natural.
I recall reading a post on a liberal blog before this law was passed, lamenting the fact there was only one clinic still functioning in S. Dakota. This was considered a great imposition in that a majority of its patients came from the Pine Ridge reservation, and the poor ladies had to go to great trouble to arrange transportation most way across the state. Seems abortion, due to a number of factors, is commonly used as back-up birth control by the impoverished Indian, well, I don't guess Maidens would be quite the correct term, would it?
All makes a strange sort of sense. Personally, I think the state moved one Justice too soon. Time will tell.
It depends on how quickly the suit(s) regarding the S. Dakota law move through the legal system. It's quite unlikely to be a Supreme Court case before 2008.
Moving on up from scalping.
My personal view is that "Native Americans" should have to choose. Either they are American citizens or are part of a seperate Nation on a Reservation. If seperate, then they should go back to "wampum" and set an US exchange rate and be subject to visas..
Individual states have the power to ban travel to foreign nations by US citizens? When did they get this?
They are in love with heap wampum.
ROTF! A legitimate BOMB threat couldn't pry those old bats away from their slot machines.
If they open up an abortion clinic on the reservation, you know its not going to be white girls from Sioux Falls going there..... They don't put these places in the nice neighborhoods for a reason.
Come one, come all for the killings!
