this SD abortion law is anti-women's rights

normally i don't really get into this whole us v.s. them mentality but i'm really steaming about the south dakota legislature pushing through their anti-abortion law. this is just one more instance of the national right wing movement to use and abuse south dakotans.

the majority of people i know in south dakota don't think abortion is the answer, but they also don't think that it should be against the law. they all seem to believe that THE PERSON ... the WOMAN ... is responsible for making a choice. they may not agree with a choice a person makes, but they feel it shouldn't be a law forced down people's throats.

it's easy for people who've NEVER had to deal with problem pregnancies firsthand, to say that abortion is an evil thing. but laws shouldn't be imposed on everyone when they're written by people who don't have to scramble just to make ends meet. hard enough considering abortion from a moral standpoint and a health standpoint ... a woman with a problem pregnancy certainly shouldn't also have to deal with legal threats.

i'm NOT saying that abortion should ever be thought of as a method of birth control -- i'm simply saying that we need to recognize that if men have legal control over their bodies, so should women. you don't think they're equal issues? consider this ... men can get viagra without the man's partner having any input in this. men can get vasectomies without the partner's input. so how come WOMEN can't have equal control over their bodies???

you know, its not as if it's even commonplace in south dakota ANYWAY ... the ONLY place you can even get an abortion is in Sioux Falls. and now it's going to be even more impossible. how can right wingers push such an agenda????

the SD legislature is insane ... the only information they feel teens need about sexual issues is abstinence. THEY obviously were never teens, were they?
