If we believe, as the SD bill writers do, that causing permant damage to an exisiting human life can justify an abortion...i find it to be a dissembling and impermissable breach of logic to hold that mental health concerns are not of the same order as physical ones.
And given my experience as an advocate for survivors of sexual assualt...i'll go back to my assertion that it shows a utter disregard for humanity to fail to address that situation.
I'd disagree with this bill even if it did have such a caveat, but it's lack is the signal and proof of the idolotrous moral fetish of it's authors.
