Dueling abortion petitions. (Did I miss this one?)

By -
I finally noticed tonight that on 3/24 the local SD forces in favor of Abortion filed a referral petition to replace the petition from the outside group that had filed for circulating a referendum petition on abortion (HB 1215, specifically).

Dr. Maria Bell who served on this summer's task force to study abortion is the named sponsor of the most recent referral measure.

I believe that should read March 24.

Maria is an old McGovern campaigner, and if you look on the petition, the group is the Hildebrand front group made up of old Daschle staffers. These people finally found something they think they can win

Maria is a doctor who is concerned about the effect an abortion ban will have on women.

If she is really a doctor she should be more concerned about the effect the abortions will have, and have had on women (not to mention the children).

I find it remarkable that readers of this site call into question the medical credentials of OBGYN Dr. Bell, while relying on chiropractor Allen Unruh.

Wow, the conspiracy theories sure come out of the woodwork. Could is possibly be that Dr. Bell as a doctor or as a person felt this issue was important enough and being an OB/GYN she needed to speak up?
Not everything is a Daschle/Thune conspiracy.

Considering her age, I have a hard time believing Dr. Bell was an old McGovern campaigner, unless she was doing it in diapers.

(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
