It is 2006 and abortion is now illegal in South Dakota, even in cases of rape and incest. How did we just take such a huge step back?

The law's illegal. It won't stand in court; this is just grandstanding.

Their intention was to get it to this point and they made it. That is horrifying.

Well, that's the point. It's supposed to get to the Supreme Court. It's been a long time since I took Government in high school, so I could be wrong, but shouldn't a series of appeals get it there? I don't know if I share everyone else's worry that the Supreme Court will even hear the case, never mind actually uphold it and make abortion a matter for the states to decide, but I recognize that nothing is beyond the realm of possibility.

This one won't go to the Supreme Court. It's the exact same law that's been found unconstitutional in the past; there's nothing new there to grant it consideration ( ... )
