quote:
The bill signed by Rounds allows doctors to perform abortions only to save the lives of pregnant women, but even then encourages them to exercise "reasonable medical efforts" to both save mothers and continue pregnancies.

Anyone who performs an abortion under any other circumstance -- even in a case of rape or incest -- can be charged with a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. The mother cannot be charged.

This really worries me. There is precident for overturning Supreme Court rulings, and with the new appointments of Roberts and Alito, who knows what will happen? What do you think?

I think there's already a big thread on this subject here on Hatrack.

Is there? I looked, but didn't find it. Hmm... I guess I just didn't look hard enough.

Yet another reason why anything called "Dakota" does not qualify as a state.
