State senate passes South Dakota abortion ban

The only thing standing between a total abortion ban in South Dakota is the signature of an anti-choice governor. Terrific.

…After more than an hour of fierce and emotional debate, the senators rejected pleas to add exceptions for incest or rape or for the health of the pregnant woman and instead voted, 23 to 12, to outlaw all abortions, except those to save the woman’s life.

Gee, thanks. But if you’re raped by your dad, you’re just shit out of luck. What’s particularly disheartening about this is that it’s just a taste of things to come.
