EWWWW! My state borders Saudi Dakota!

<p>The Saudi Dakota legislature passed a bill banning abortion, even in cases of rape and incest. Some highlights:
1. If a rape victim becomes pregnant and bears a child, the rapist could have the same parental rights as the mother, said Krista Heeren-Graber, executive director of the South Dakota Network Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault.
2. Under the measure, doctors could get up to five years in prison for performing an illegal abortion.</p>

<p>I thought we were fighting the religious extremists in Iraq so that we wouldn't have to fight them here in the USA.</p>

<p>Darth Cheney should take the Saudi Dakota legislators who voted for this on a hunting trip.</p>

<p>Heard about that... I can't believe they didn't allow for rape.</p>

<p>These effing fundamentalist d-bags are seeking to ruin this nation. Lets pack up our bags and head to Canada while at it.</p>

<p>What happened to making moral decisions?!</p>

<p>Am I the only one who is actually really interested by this move? I personally don't agree with it, simply because it's flat out ignoring a Supreme Court precident. I however think it'll be very interesting to see if something like this does (since it should be expected there will be legal action taken) in fact make the Supreme Court.</p>

<p>now they just need to get people to move to south dakota to make the new law possible</p>

<p>wow. (10 char)</p>

<p>Actually, no court case has been broken. If you're talking about Roe vs. Wade, all that said was that abortion is legal. However, it did not say that states could not limit it or ban it all together. </p>

<p>And, LOL to taffy. Good one ;).</p>

<p>What can you say, it's South Dakota.</p>

<p>True. </p>

<p>The more frightening thing is the state is paying for this using private money donated by pro-life groups who want R v. W overturned. People are paying the state to do their bidding.</p>

<p>Why did the OP include the word "Saudi" in place of "South?"</p>

<p>I think as a poke to the religious nature of the state and their political process.</p>

<p>well, the OP makes Saudi negative, which I think is disrespectful.</p>

<p>I didn't even notice it saying Saudi Dakota. I just saw Dakota and clicked on it.</p>

<p>Yeah, I don't like the way he used saudi either. Make fun of your own country, saudia arabia didn't even do anything to you, and has nothing to do with this decision. geez, why does everyone have to make fun of islamic countries and islamic figures and islamic people .. get off them for once.</p>

<p>sara, would you want to live in saudi arabia?</p>

<p>and to the OP: i think you have hurt the feelings of the saudi arabians. please issue an apology immediately.</p>

<p>last thing we need is a riot.</p>

<p>ok im out!</p>

<p>I wouldnt mind. What's your beef with the country? </p>

<p>Yes taffy, please leave.</p>

<p>you're a male, im asking a female.</p>

<p>I'm a female. And the answer is absolutely never ever ever.</p>
