Where I wish I was this weekend
South Daota prepares to vote on abortion
Yes, the controversial abortion ban in South Dakota is on the ballot this November for approval by voters. Living in Minnesota and having been involved previously in the pro-choice movement, I am uncomfortably aware of both the idiocy in South Dakota and the fact that there are plenty of people that would like to make Minnesota #2 on this particular list. Last week, the ACLU, in conjunction with the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families, was asking people to volunteer to go to South Dakota for a last-ditch get out the vote effort. I wanted to go, but got sick and couldn't. I did make a last minute donation.
I wish I could speak eloquently on the subject of the ban, but it makes me angry that a woman in South Dakota could decide that an abortion is what she needs to do, and instead of being able to go to one of the 2 abortion providers that used to practice in the state (and still being forced to wait 24 hours before having the procedure), she instead must travel hundreds of miles out of state.
