South Dakota Outlaws Abortions, Grants Hardly Any Exceptions

[queerbychoice]

What the fuck is this? I propose kicking South Dakota out of the United States. We won't miss them. Besides, they're not too far from Canada: maybe Canada will invade them and conquer them and impose gay marriages and abortion rights on them and thereby make them wish they'd just obeyed existing court decisions.

Thanks to queenofyerworld for the horrifying link.

I posted the link to show that not all Lakota are pro-choice. I don't know a whole lot about the Lakota, I don't know very many of them, and the ones I have had contact with have been fairly conservative on this issue.

I was interested in finding out if you had some information I didn't, that would make you believe most Lakota are staunchly pro-choice.

Well, if you ask like that...

I don't have any information about how Lakota people in general feel about abortion. From past experience, I do know that it's a mistake to assume that one person, or even a group of people speak for all people from a specific group.

My original comment was because I'm a staunch supporter of self-determination for indigenous peoples.
