South Dakota Gov. Mike Rounds signed a bill Monday that bans nearly all abortions in the state, legislation in direct conflict with the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in 1973.
...Although the law -- intended as a constitutional challenge to Roe v. Wade -- is set to take effect July 1, Rounds said in the statement that he expects legal action will prevent that. He added that a settlement of the issue could take years and might ultimately be decided by the nation's highest court.
Yep, if you're raped in South Dakota and get pregnant, they want you raising the rapist's child.
It's not that I'm particularly pro-life or pro-choice. It's just that anything that mathematically decreases the odds of another Paris Hilton or Bill Romanowski being born is a good thing to me.
