Abortion bill passes the House, and is on it's way to the Senate
The Argus Leader is reporting tonight that the Abortion Ban, HB 1293, passed the South Dakota House of Representatives, and is now on it's way to the South Dakota Senate on a 45-25 vote.
What are you not hearing in the MSM? A little bird is telling me that there's existing case law out there saying it just might be ok to refer it. (I just didn't go back far enough.)
Stay tuned for more on it as it makes it's way through the senate.

Comments
(Note: before anyone blasts me for my opinion, I'd like to say that I'm not "pro-abortion." I just believe there are better ways to stop abortion other than these lame bans.)
Howie is a member of "God's Army". Glory to God!
That's precisely why you can't be anti-abortion and pro-death penalty without being a total hypocrite.
What a great idea! We have to get legislation like this passed in South Dakota!

I think it's great how the proponents are making the pro-abortion campaign eat their own words.
haggs, why do you want to stop abortion? is there something wrong with it?
Yes. Of course.
By definition there is something wrong with it.
abor·tion
noun
1: the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus: as
a: spontaneous expulsion of a human fetus during the first 12 weeks of gestation — compare miscarriage
b: induced expulsion of a human fetus
c: expulsion of a fetus by a domestic animal often due to infection at any time before completion of pregnancy — compare contagious abortion
2: monstrosity
3: arrest of development (as of a part or process) resulting in imperfection; also : a result of such arrest
Ok lexrex, whatever.
Unless of couse you'd prefer a personal insult.
Knowing that, and believing the trustworthy doctors, the electorate voted down HB 1215.
So now here we are again 4 months later with an identical abortion ban that also purports to have the exact same exceptions claimed for HB 1215 - just worded differently.
As LEXREX would say, the record is skipping with these people.
While you may disagree with last years bill let's compare apples to apples shall we? 1293 is not 1215 and any comparison of it is invalid. With 1293 the pro-abortion groups can no longer use their token catch phrase of "no rape and incest", becuase it literally reads it word for word in the new law. The two laws are not identical. Feel free to look them up and read them for your own sake. 1293 has explicit exceptions that are clearly spelled out right in the law.
In his very first post, haggs said "I'm not pro-abortion."
That's the only reason he needs to want to stop it.
He doesn't like it.
I didn't see anything phony, contradictory or dishonest at all about what he said.
He said there was a better way to stop it than passing "lame bans" — which I took to mean unconstitutional laws that will never go into effect and will instead inflame and divide people who should be working toward a common cause.
As we've learned from our fearless leader, Mr.W and his buddy Rummy, sometimes a "my way or the highway" position isn't the right one to take if you want to get where you're going.
It sends your friends down the road and leaves you sitting in your unarmored humvee, out of gas.
Are you saying that abortion is murder?
And if so, why do you exempt the women who are complicit in it?
Are you saying that incest is wrong, and that a child conceived in such a union has less right to live than those conceived otherwise?
And are you saying that women who have incest and become pregnant are innocent of their crime, even if they instigated the act, as long as they confess their sin and the name of their partner to their doctor and to the police?
Are you saying that a woman who was forced to have sex with her husband can rid herself of an unwanted child as long as she is willing to send her husband to jail?
Just trying to understand your reasoning here,
and challenge your true comittment to the life and liberty of your fellow Americans.
And why not charge the doctors accordingly?
Sorry, but I don't have the patience of a Hagg, or a lexrex.
The reason is, that none of you right wing, social conservatives have the courage of your convictions.
You know that if you accuse these women of murder, they will cook your politcal gooses, giblets and all.
And so you won't.
And so they will.
And so it goes.
Amen.
Thus endeth the lecture.
