Majority and Minority Reports
And Contraception

By -
We've been hearing so much about the Final Report of the Task Force to Study Abortion and the group of people who left the meeting, I thought I'd hunt down the reports that they are presenting to the legislature. Just in case you were wondering, click here for the minority report from those who bailed on the committee, and click here for a copy of the official report. (At least I think this is the report. There's not a lot of references to it on the net at the moment).

What brings this on? There's an AP article in the Rapid City Journal about how those who bailed out on the committee were complaining that there were amendments to the document after they walked out.

I don't think we've heard the end of all this by a long shot.

Speaking of solving problem pregnancies, there was an another article on the topic in the Rapid City Journal this AM:
The snickers and jokes are getting a little old for Mike Forrette.

Forrette, a member of Rapid City’s deer task force, is a strong supporter of using a contraceptive drug instead of hunting as a more humane means to control the city’s urban deer population.“I have people asking me if I have condoms for the deer.

It was funny the first 900 times,” Forrette said.

How about we shoot them and eat them? And tell people to stop feeding them in their yards.

It's just getting a little too weird to blog this Sunday afternoon.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...
