Yes and No on Initiated Measure 6

By -


I had this link sent to me (although, I think it's been going around the SD blogosphere) for a homemade Yes on 6 ad. According to the writeup on it at kgov.com:
This unauthorized 30-second South Dakota TV spot was made on location at Mt. Rushmore for the abortion ban vote, in hopes that the Vote Yes for Life campaign would want to use this commercial featuring Rushmore's pro-life Abe Lincoln look-a-like, urging people to uphold their state's abortion ban. So far, apparently, they have not shown interest in the spot. So, this commercial is available, and we're looking for another organization that can run this TV ad in South Dakota!
There is also a new commercial out there from democratic aligned organization "Focus South Dakota." While it's somewhat directed against the measure, it's more focused on going after Bill Napoli, and supporting democratic candidates Katus, Spry and Finch:

Napoli engaging his mouth before engaging his brain.

Nothing new here, same old Bill.

3:24 There you go, engaging your mouth again. Nothing wrong with Sen. Bill Napoli, at least he is honest and will tell you just exactly the way it is. Too bad we don't have more Bill Napoli's sent to Pierre.

Are you serious? Have you no compassion or did you miss that day in church?

It is obvious that BN is not the only state legislator that feels this way. Even some of the women we send to Pierre. Sad but true--So, this is a call to action for us to change the make-up of our lawmakers.

Isn't Napoli admitting that we maybe should allow exceptions in certain hard cases? So, isn't he agreeing with you NO on 6 libs? This commercial is stupid and schizophrenic?

4:23 - Correction. Napoli is telling it the way he THINKS it is.
That has to be one of the most stupid, insensitive statements I have ever heard from a legislator. The man is clueless, and he's an embarrassment to our state.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(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
