South Dakota Bellies Up To The Bar:

South Dakota has passed a dragonian new law outlawing almost all forms of abortion. In a clear challenege to Roe vs Wade the law is designed to force a Supreme Court ruling on the matter. Simply put the law makes it a crime to perform an abortion except in the case where the mothers life is in danger, no other exceptions are made, and the doctor performing the abortion faces a five year imprisonment for violating the new law.

There are really THREE sides to this issue, first you have the anti abortion bunch, usually the same ones who preach that all life is sacred, then they turn around and support the death penalty.

Next you have the pro choice bunch who believe that a woman has a right to choose whether or not she wants to maintain the pregnancy, odd as it seems most of this bunch is against the death penalty saying that…you guessed it all life is sacred.

The ones you don’t hear too much about is the third group, these are the people that believe that abortion is a states rights issue and should be decided by the individual states. This is how it was prior to Roe v. Wade and this is how it would be if the Supreme Court ever overturns Roe v. Wade.

South Dakota’s new law has a long way to go to make it to the Supreme Court, it will have to work its way through lower courts which are likely to strike it down and the Supreme Court may very well simply refuse to hear it if it gets that far, so it’s still unlikely that Roe v. Wade is in any immediate danger, though it is under assault and South Dakota is only the first, several other states are drafting similar legislation as we speak.

Personally this bothers me, a lot. The issue of abortion should be between a woman and her God and nobody else. Dictating morality has never worked, nor will it ever. It simply leads to a quagmire and new laws designed to make more and more citizens into criminals.

I think it’s high time we started electing candidates who promise to take laws off the books instead of enacting new ones, we have enough criminals.
