I'd hate to be in the Governor's shoes if he doesn't sign it!

When is he going to sign it for heaven's sakes? Is there a certain time he has to do this? What's holding him up? Sign the darn thing and get it done!!! Someone explain this to me please?????????????

"It's a sad state of affairs that we have only one choice (for abortion) right now," said Charon Asetoyer of the Native American Women's Health Care Education Resource Center in Lake Andes. "But if you have to go out of state, the cost of making that trip will be prohibitive."

It would be a whole lot less than the cost of propping up the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and others of similar ilk who eat out the sustainence of taxpayers.

Gov. Mike Rounds said he is inclined to sign a bill that would ban nearly all abortions in South Dakota

Inclined?

What kind of a RINO wimp is this guy? Sign the damned thing so the courts and SCOTUS can get on with it.

Besides, we all want to see the libs going ballistic. They do that so well J

If a rape victim becomes pregnant and bears a child, the rapist could have the same parental rights as the mother, said Krista Heeren-Graber, executive director of the South Dakota Network Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault.

Hypocrite!!!

If that's what you cared about a law could be passed denying rapists parental rights, if that isn't already the case.

She's more interested in killing babies than protecting victims.

As a South Dakota resident and pro life Catholic, I still see this bill as doing little if anything to curtail or end abortion in South Dakota or nationally. This bill is crudely fashioned and was basically railroaded through the Legislature. It will be immediately appealed when signed and then begin years of litigation while the abortionists in this state continue their grisly work unfettered. Given the nature of this bill I seriously doubt it will ever make it to the SCOTUS and will be defeated by the Appeals Court.

Our Legislature could have taken a less radical course that would have significantly slowed abortion in this state to the point of not being profitable for the abortionists (it's all about the money) and had some likelihood of surviving in the federal courts.

This bill will just leave the taxpayers of South Dakota millions in debt and not have any affect on ending abortion.

I never thought about this before, and have never seen it mentioned anywhere: What's stopping Indian reservations from having abortion clinics? If I'm not mistaken, state laws can't prevent that.
