200 Years

Way to set the collective society back 200 years! South Dakota, the religious, backwards, backwoods freaks that they are, just outlawed abortions for ANY reason, except the life threat of the mother. This is so far to the right it's just wrong. (bad pun, I should remove that)

Kids do dumb things. I've made every mistake in the book -- twice, and if I had to pay a life sentence for each one (which is what forcing a 16 yr old girl to have child is) than I'd be a much different person right now. I'd be even meaner and less social. (I can't spell 'ornery')

If some 50 yr old CEO gets raped (are there 50 yr old female CEOs in SD? I doubt it, but...) than why should she be forced to have that child?

There are going to be more backroom abortions, botched abortions, children left in dumpsters, unwanted, unloved children, and suicides because of this.

Let's fire up the scoreboard and start the side-betting.
