Abortion

These websites talk a little bit about the law that could ban abortion in South Dakota. The last time a case like this was brought up in the supreme court was in 2000. The court by one vote invalidated a state prohibition because it lacked a health exception for the mother. The South Dakota Govoner, Mike Rounds, say's he is "inclined" to sign the bill that would ban all abortions except for those that are neccessary to save the mother. It is very interesting to read both sides of this arguement and how so many people are for and against it. I like the idea of getting rid of abortion but I also think rape should be an exception to the law. It is fair to make someone have a child if they made the choice to have sex but if it was forced (like in a rape) it shouldn't be their life long responsiblity to take care of a child.
