Apparently, the rights of clumps of fertilized cells trump those of fully sentient human beings in South Dakota.

It's a Brave New World, indeed.

Abortions for some, miniature american flags for others!

C'mon Rome, I support abortion rights, but that's way too simplistic.
Besides, I don't see them overturning Roe v Wade.  Even with Bush's lackeys in there.

[Rome]

Women are forbidden to have a pregnancy terminated in South Dakota and doctors are forbidden to perform them unless the mother's life is in danger.

What part of that sentence did I exaggerate or over-simplify?

[MDS]

Yes! Go right wing agenda.

The middle part.

[MadMarchHare]

The facts are never unclear.  The belief system surrounding those facts are.  This has never been about the actual procedure.  You either think it's OK to abort potential life, or it is unacceptable to prematurely terminate any life.

I'm more of a pragmatist.  A sterile surgical procedure is better than throwing your girlfriend down the stairs, coat hangers, and dumping newborns in trash cans/toilets/etc.

Basic civil rights are under siege every day at every level of government by insidious right-wing crackpots and they won't be happy until everyone thinks, looks, talks, and acts like them.

This is just another step for them and it will undoubtedly be met with crashing indifference by the American public just as every other attack on individual civil liberties has been during the past 5 years.

[MadMarchHare]

Dude, civil liberties have been disappearing for way longer than the past 5 years.

[Susquehanna Birder]

And there are apparently no left-wing crackpots doing the same thing.

[Butchers Bill]

And there are apparently no left-wing crackpots doing the same thing.

Shh!  Don't let common sense get in the way of Jerome embarrassing himself.   

[rjs246]

Left-wing crackpots don't infringe upon civil liberties, they infringe upon financial liberties of hard-working people.

Which is why affiliating yourself with either side is idiotic and narrow minded. Both sides are despicable for different reasons. Arguing which is worse makes no sense.

Dude, you are abolutely nuts. There is not way in hell that a surgical procedure is better than pushing a girlfriend down the stairs.....especially one of the X variety.

[MadMarchHare]

I own a ranch to avoid the temptation myself.....

[Susquehanna Birder]

I just stay outdoors.
