Post Roe v Wade abortion law in South Dakota only allows for exceptions to save life of mother
During a Sunday morning appearance on CNN, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem was asked whether she thinks there should be exceptions for survivors of rape and incest when it came to abortion laws.
Apparently, she does not.
Ms Noem’s interview with Dana Bash on *State of the Union *covered a wide range of topics given that the governor is seen as a leading contender to be Donald Trump’s running mate.
On abortion, she spoke in favour of the issue being decided by individual states post-Roe v Wade, referencing a decades-old trigger law that came into effect in her state after the Supreme Court struck down the 1973 decision.
Abortion is now banned in South Dakota, with the only exception being to save the life of the mother.
The only thing the Bible says about abortion is how to perform one, and many American Christian organizations were on the side of safe abortions performed by medical doctors until recently. Their scriptures didn’t change, medical science didn’t change, so why do they now oppose abortion? The primary reason I can see is clergy and politicians working together to undermine women’s rights. They don’t care if they are hypocrites or hurt people because they feel justified by their faith despite faith being an awful reason to believe anything is true. I don’t understand how anyone can say churches are apolitical and deserve tax free status.
Abortion as a right wing talking point is a long-con that began during Reagan in order to bamboozle a bunch of fucking Jeebus hicks into voting republiQan.
Worked like a charm.
