So, it's happened. Mike Rounds, Governer of South Dakota, has officially thrown his glove down in front of the Supreme Court. He signed the bill into law that will effectively ban all abortions unless the life of the mother is at stake. He's itching for a fight that could effectively overturn Roe V. Wade.
He's not the only one. The news said tonight that Mississippi is approximately ten days away from signing a similar bill into law and there are several other states (including my childhood state of Missouri) who are following suit.
I'd like to think in my heart of hearts that the Supreme Court will continue to uphold a law that has been challenged again and again, but the things happening in this country right now never cease to amaze me.
These people removing a woman's right to decisions concerning her own body are the same people who don't want to make contraception readily available and want to uphold the death penalty. Apparently life is only precious until the moment of birth.
