Yes and it looks pretty good right now. If it fails it will be brought up again in S. Dakota. Many other states are getting ready to do the same. Praise God!!
EDIT* There's another thread? Referring to esther's response. We've weighed in? I have no idea what she thinks. But you keep pushing on buddy. I think you left them speechless

It won't be the end of abortion. Desperate young women will still find a way to do it, only it will be unsafe. More fetuses will die and so will more young women. And for those babies that are born? Most likely they'll be abused and will either grow up to be criminals or will die of neglect or the injuries inflicted upon themselves by their resentful mothers.
My grandmother is a nurse and she was pro-life until two horrifying experiences changed her mind. The first one was when a 16-year-old girl was brought into the ER. Abortion was illegal at the time, but the desperate girl had tried to perform her own abortion with a coat hanger. She punctured her uterus and bled to death. When the doctors realized she was dying, they left the room. She grabbed my grandmother's arm and begged her to stay, which my grandmother did. She comforted that girl as she died. The second one was a child in a pediatric ward several years later after abortion had become legal. His mother had been talked out of an abortion, but soon regretted it. Her solution? She filled the bathtub with scalding hot water and immersed him in it. He died with third degree burns on 95% of his body. He was only a year old.
So, yeah, let's go back to those days by outlawing abortion. Praise god. Praise him when a young girl makes a mistake and dies for it. Who cares that she could have had more children when the time was right for her? Who cares that she could have grown up to be a doctor who could have saved countless lives? Praise him when an innocent child suffers more pain than most of us will in our entire lives.

Yeah, because, ya know....... freedom, especially freedom of choice is just so overrated.
What's next on the agenda? How about we outlaw women's right to vote. Or maybe we just let the government tell us exactly how many kids we can have and when and under what circumstances. How about the government set up a betrothing system where all girls are matched up with men and by law have to marry them and then outlaw divorce.
Keep religion out of politics!
PS....I'm not "godless" I just don't subject myself to your god's jealous and tyrannical reign.

Great, so should I start calling the lawmakers of South Dakota every day and ask them what I should have for breakfast? And how I should fix my hair? Since they think a woman shouldn't be in charge of their own decisions, I'll let them be in charge of ALL my decisions, eh?

I think South Dakota is overstepping its bounds. The Supreme Court has already made a decision on this issue.

Well congratulations you have officially discovered old news, it is just an update on a seven month old story. Besides it will be overturned inside a year even if it passes,so it's not good news because it doesn't matter in the long run.

I think it's a step in the right direction. And having read the other answers, I have more to say.
The idea that abortion is a matter of "choice" is ridiculous. Women and girls have abortions because they think they have NO choice. They feel trapped, helpless and unsupported. Most are pressured by the father, their family or friends.
Saying "it's a woman's body and she should be able to do what she wants" is also ridiculous. In most cases, the woman involved took her body and offered it to a man. She made her choice to have sex. Some choices have lasting consequences and getting pregnant is one of them. Then it is no longer JUST her body because another developing human being is also involved.
And the heart-rending plea about rape and incest is a smoke-screen. Polls have shown the women and girls who are raped are not HELPED by abortion but that it only adds to their trauma. First there is the violence and violation of the rape and then they have to live with the fact that they now are mothers to dead babies!

God bless S.D.
And to the one who posted about their grandmother being a nurse, and those atrocities... have you never seen the pictures and the deformities of those babies whom an abortion was attempted on them, but they survived, and lived and grew up to talk about it? They grow up scarred over their entire body, suffer mental deficiencies, suffer mental trauma, and will live the rest of their life is a pariah in society, all because someone tried to kill them.
When is it that the victim becomes the outcast?
Why is it so hard for people to say, "I'm not a fit mother/father, I'm putting my child up for adoption"? Why deny the child the American right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Why is it okay to kill a child within the womb, but a crime worth of inprisonment to kill a child outside of the womb? Why is a crime worthy of inprisonment to kill a child, but is a crime worthy of death to kill an adult? Should not the stricter penalties go for those who kill the innocent? Those who kill the ones who cannot defend themselves? To those who kill the most innocent of all, the one who has never seen the light of day?
Herein is where the truth of God is inverted by society... that the crime of an adult against another adult is punished, but the crime of an adult against a child is punished more severely... and man has taken it upon himself to reverse God's own law.
"...for in that day, you shall be as gods, knowing good and evil..."

I notice that many who feel this way about abortion are also pro war.
What makes some babies worth saving and others OK to kill?
I would appreciate an email comment from anyone who can explain this to me.
Love and blessings Don
