I wrote a long reply and realized it unnecessary. Our laws have many examples of instances where one makes a choice to go in a direction and can't turn back. Do those laws also limit self-determination? I really don't want to argue the point because I am in agreement with you, except for your forcing me to accept that self-determination occurs at only one point, and that is the decision to keep or terminate the pregnancy. That is not the case, and you both know that. For the third time, I vote pro-choice. I oppose legislation that places unreasonable restrictions on abortion.
And your daughter thought exactly what I did - if I was a doctor who intended to continue to practice in SD, I would arm myself. I would shoot anyone who intended to shoot me. What a case it will be: "justifiable homicide" vs. "justifiable self-defense".
...and this is all moot anyway. This law has as much chance of making it as a fetus in an abortion clinic. Pardon the pun.
