SOUTH DAKOTA PASSES A BILL TO BAN ABORTION


Panic spreads throughout Planned Parenthood and NARAL as their precious abortion on demand policies are challenged.

South Dakota is set to challenge Roe vs. Wade. This past wednesday South Dakota's Congress passed a ban on abortion and it is awaiting Governor Mike Rounds' signature. Here is what the sponsor of the bill had to say:
"The momentum for a change in the national policy on abortion is going to come in the not-too-distant future," said Rep. Roger W. Hunt, a Republican who sponsored the bill. To his delight, abortion opponents succeeded in defeating all amendments designed to mitigate the ban, including exceptions in the case of rape or incest or the health of the woman. Hunt said that such "special circumstances" would have diluted the bill and its impact on the national scene.
There are similar efforts in other states:
South Dakota is the first but not the only state to consider new abortion restrictions this year. Ohio, Indiana, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky have introduced similar measures.
