South Dakota, You So Crazy

neadodsSouth Dakota has shelved the bill allowing "justifiable homicide" in defense of a fetus.
In its place, the SD House just passed a bill mandating that women must consult with anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers before getting an abortion.. There do not appear to be any exceptions, so if that fetus is dying or killing you, you'd still have to listen to a lecture by an untrained counsellor telling you it's *their* God's will you stay pregnant.
And I'm SURE that NOBODY in such a center would DREAM of putting off that mandatory appointment until the clock ran out on a legal early abortion.
There's no point in getting too worked up because there's no way in hell it would survive a legal challenge even if it passed into law. But seriously, who thought that was a good idea?

The way this fucker smirked and smiled so happily when he talked about his revolting opionions is enough to turn your stomach.
