SD state Rep. Roger Hunt is in some trouble over failing to disclose who funds his shell corporation, which gave $750,000 to the abortion-ban campaign. Failure to properly file a campaign finance report is a class 2 misdemeanor.
Local pro-choicers are thinking the anonymous donor is Steve Kirby, a wealthy anti-choicer who ran a failed campaign for South Dakota governor. He gave huge amounts of money to the initial push to pass the abortion ban, but his name shows up nowhere on the VoteYesForLife campaign finance filing.
Ms. Magazine reminds us that the campaign has been in trouble over its funding before. Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington (CREW) filed a complaint against Leslee Unruh's crisis-pregnancy center and the Abstinence Clearinghouse for using federal dollars to campaign for the abortion ban.
