South Dakota legislature attacks Roe vs. Wade

State prepares to pass bill banning all abortions except to save mom’s life.

A direct attack on Roe v. Wade is coming from the South Dakota legislature. The new bill, which outlaws abortion, makes no exceptions, not for a pregnancy caused by incest or rape. It would only be legal—the only exception if it would save the pregnant woman’s life.

Doctors who perform abortions could face up to five years in prison. The bill passed the State Senate 23-12. It’s expected to pass the House again and then go to Governor Mike Rounds’ desk. The bill’s sponsor says he thinks the antiabortion movement has momentum on its side and a—quote—“change in national policy on abortion is going to come in the not-too-distant future.”

I see this as yet another form of religious law trying to worm its way into secular law. No better or worse than if we were to implement Sahria into our legal system.

Both would be very bad ideas.
