a dark day for women

Lawmakers in South Dakota threw away the chisel, grabbed a sledgehammer and went at Roe with a fury, all but daring the Supreme Court to step in.

The bill they passed last month, HB 1215, bans all abortion, including in cases of rape and incest, including cases that threaten the health of the mother; the only exception is if the mother’s survival itself is at risk, and even in those
instances the doctor must “make reasonable medical efforts under the circumstances to preserve both the life of the mother and the life of her unborn child.”

Doctors caught performing abortions would be charged with a Class 5 felony, punishable by up to five years in prison.

there are no words.
