South Dakota Bans Most Abortions.

You are given a free front-row seat for the epic battle on the war on women's rights. South Dakota has paved the way for an eventual Supreme Court challenge of Roe vs. Wade.

Not allowing an exception for rape, incest, and the health of the mother is a radical position that puts women's health in jeopardy. Congrats to the S.D. legislators for taking away the freedom of choice from your body!

PIERRE, S.D. (AP)--South Dakota's governor signed a near-total ban on abortions in the state into law in what the governor called a "direct frontal assault" on the U.S. Supreme Court decision to legalize the practice 33 years ago.

Supporters and opponents of abortion rights had been gearing up for a showdown even before Gov. Mike Rounds added his signature to the bill Monday and both sides expected a lengthy battle.

"We fully intend to challenge this law," said Kate Looby, state director of Planned Parenthood, which operates the state's only abortion clinic. "It's just a question of how."

The bill would make it a crime for doctors to perform an abortion unless the procedure was necessary to save the woman's life. It would make no exception for cases of rape or incest but such victims could get emergency contraception.
Under the new law, doctors could get up to five years in prison for performing an illegal abortion.

The system fails again, miserably. The government owns your body so you better bow down if you know what's good for you.

Own this, feds. [raises middle finger to salute]
