Ok I am now starting to think that there is a conspiracy amidst. We all know of all of the questionable decisions that our president has made in the last year. It seems as if this Fascist ideology has made it's way down to the City (New Orleans) and the State (South Dakota)governments.
Well then I should say for those who do not know South Dakota's Governor has made it illegal for women in the state to have abortions. The law makes it a felony to perform any abortion except when a mother's life is in jeopardy. (I apologize the State has made it illegal for Doctors in the state to perform abortions.)
Now with that said, keep in mind that the State does not say that a woman can not have an abortion but rather that if she does the doctor that performs the operation will be convicted of a felony and face jail time and the loss of their license to practice.
If this is not the back door to the Roe v. Wade, then I need to return my degree and slap my constitutional law professor. Now although this provision has an out and is not absolute it states "any abortion except when a mother's life is in jeopardy."
Let's look at what exactly is meant by "life in jeopardy". If a woman is raped by an unknown assailant and is impregnated she is forced to carry that humiliation and reminder to Term. Does that not put her life in jeopardy by way of possible suicide? Better yet who is to blame if this woman has this baby and then abandons it, or leaves it in a dumpster? Do we point the crooked finger at her, or should we look at the State and hold them directly responsible for the atrocity. Better yet just because I am a comedian maybe Governor Michael Rounds will become the official Baby daddy for all unwanted children in South Dakota. So with that said if you are in SD and are forced to carry a pregnancy to term I suggest taking your newborn and hand delivering it to Mr. Rounds doorstep with a note attached. "You left this with me!"
