Jackalopes Are Running South Dakota

South Dakota lawmakers stuck their heads even further into precincts where the sun don't shine yesterday and passed the most far-reaching ban on abortion attempted by any state since 1973, deliberately and provocatively flying in the face of Roe v Wade. You see, these guys heard that El Presidente had put a couple of right-wing judges on the Supreme Court, so they felt called by the supreme god Opportunity to rush into passing a law banning nearly all abortions, including in cases of rape and incest. Can't for the life of me figger why, in fact, they would even leave in an exception for "life of the mother," since the lives of women generally count for so little in their state.
