South Dakota votes to preserve women's rights
November 08, 2006
Deanna:
By a 55-45 margin, South Dakotans struck down the abortion ban that left no exceptions for rape, incest or a woman's health. I'll refer to Jessica at Feministing to echo my more visceral emotions at the moment. Hurray!!
Ann:
I give the anti-choicers only a few days before they start pushing for a ban with rape and incest exceptions... which is, unfortunately, much more likely to be approved.
But for now, let's celebrate the fact that a direct challenge to Roe has been averted. This is good news.
