When it comes right down to it, how many parents would FORCE their 13 year old daughter to spend 9 months incubating a RAPIST'S Baby? As a woman and a mother of daughters, I can only hope a VERY SMALL MINORITY.

This bill is the extremist of the extreme.

30. Done-and No votes are slightly more than Yes votes

Could it be that people realize how draconian this bill is? Even folks I know who say they don't like abortions think it should be allowed in the case of rape, incest, or to protect the health of the mother.

[rodeodance]

49. yes, should allow for rape/insest (already does for health of mom)

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

51. This one doesn't have the health exception

only to save the life of the mother. If carrying the child (including a fetus that has died) isn't life threatening, but will lead to chronic health complications for the mother, including sterility, tough luck according to this law.

71. the group is from Madison, WI ---thanks sisters

A Madison, Wis.,-based group has formally called for a boycott of South Dakota tourism. In a news release titled “Bypass South Dakota!”, the Women’s Medical Fund urged supporters to steer clear of South Dakota.

“All kinds of families visit Mount Rushmore every year. It’s a favorite of Americans and foreign tourists. But we can do without Mount Rushmore, the Black Hills, the Badlands and the Corn Palace,” Anne Gaylor, director of the Fund, wrote. “We are encouraging all groups who care about women’s rights to urge their members to bypass South Dakota.”

Billie Jo Waara, head of the state office of tourism, said her office has been hearing from people throughout the country.

“They have commented on the fact that the state is a great destination for travel, but our current political situation doesn’t match their agenda,” Waara said.
