It looks like the new, Bush stacked, Supreme Court might get the chance to address the abortion issue sooner than we thought.

South Dakota, land of... What the fuck do they have in South Dakota? Well, apparently a lot of Christian conservatives The state legislature in South Dakota officially approved a bill that is essentially a challenge against the Roe v. Wade ruling. The bill passed 23- 12 (with tons refraining from voting...) And an amendment to that bill was approved 50-18 (I find the fact that the people who didnt vote on the bill in the first place still voted to tailor it later is fucking bullshit)

Enter Mike Rounds.
Governor Rounds. He vetoed an anti-abortion bill two years ago. This time though, he says he will approve the bill if it can save lives. Uh-oh. I wonder what he voted would have voted in the poll in this thread?

I have yet to find an exact wording of the proposed bill, but I find this quote about it interesting:
The bill would make it illegal to perform/get an abortion in the state of South Dakota unless it was to save the pregnant mothers life. Rape, incest, too bad.

The bill would ban almost all abortions in South Dakota and would be the most stringent anti-abortion measure adopted by a state. It would be unconstitutional under current U.S. Supreme Court rulings.

This means that if the bill is signed it will HAVE to be challenged in a court. And then well see where the new Supreme Court sits on this matter.
