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.

Didn't Dennis pretty much single handedly keep Cleveland's utilities from going to private control? I remember hearing that's what cost him the office. Then, of course, here a few years ago when all of California was being gouged to death on power, Cleveland still had municipal control.

Yep---the Black Hills was the destination of choice. If you want to run away some time, let me know, and I'll meet you there. Or you could come as far as Michigan and we could go from here. Beautiful mountains, with dark pine trees that give it the name (they look black from a distance), and lots of birches here and there---plus crazy granite upcroppings and of course the insane Badlands nearby. There are also remnants of old motorist tourist culture, and I have a soft spot for that stuff.

Next time I go I'm going to make a point of visiting the reservation, see if anybody remembers my father and his parents. Long shot, I reckon, as they left in the early 40's, I think, but you never know.
