South Dakota is my home state and i'm certian this is going to pass. South Dakota is very red (except we usually vote liberal senaters). I know the governer has said he will sign the bill. With that aside i'll put out my abortion stance.
I am against abortion except in certian cases. I believe the cases for exemption should be 1) health of the mother is in danger and 2) rape/incest case. As for people who get pregnate because they are irresponsible I think they should go through with the pregnacy and if they don't want their kid then we should have adoption centers ready to take the kid and pair them up with parents. However, one of my fears of something like this is we will get a lot of coat hanger abortions by scared girls. In addition in response to the point made about the kid having defects, let the kid live! I dated a girl for a few years whose sister was mentally disabled and she was the sweetest girl in the world. There is nothing wrong with these type of people, they mearly think differently. In addition there are many times when people are born with various genetic defects live long healthy lives. At least give them a chance.
With that been said, I find the timing of this bill curious. Now I haven't lived in SD for 2 years, but I have never heard talk of this bill in the past. All the sudden now this bill is passing the house right after Alito and Roberts are appointed. It seems like this may have been planned for a while and people were just sitting on the bill waiting for the supreme court to slant in a hope that a bill like this could overturn Roe v. Wade. I hope this isn't the case because I really hate politicing.
