OK, I don't live in SD, I was just born there. Watertown. Grew up in ND, now live in IL.
SD has made me proud of my birthplace with their new law outlawing abortion. It's high time this federal abortion mandate put to the test. Way to go South Dakota.
Of course, the liberal media, including the Chicago Tribune are all verfluffled about this. Letters to the editor which have these phrases:
If SD does this they must make contraception available to everyone free of charge. HUH? I didn't think abortion was about contraception. Guess when the pressure kicks in the truth comes out.
If SD does this they must make adoption mandatory. OK, deal. Why do so many couples wander off to Russia or China to adopt. BECAUSE THERE ARE NO LITTLE BABIES AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN THE USA. They are aborted. The children that end up available for adoption that are not adopted are those raised by single moms who are available starting at 5 years old, mentally challenged, and mom is in prison for selling crack. She didn't get an abortion either. And abortions were available. Free. She still had kids who became abused. That won't change. There are no unadopted newborns in America. None.
And of course the usual prattle about back alleys, etc. Believe me, clinical abortions were readily available before Roe v Wade. They will be after. That's a pity. This is way overdue and very welcome.
As to my brethren in SD, way to go.

Gene,
I'm not arguing against your main points, but as an adoptive father of two domestically born children I just want to point out that there are many newborns available for adoption, although maybe relatively few compared to foreign adoption. Many end up in foster care and if they aren't adopted as a young child, it's likely they'll be in the system for life. These are the ones who are messed up.
What I find a tad hypocritical is the overwhelming opposition to abortion by Christians, yet the underwhelming rate of adoption. An adoption ministry I know states that if every church (not family) in America helped just one of its families adopt a child, the adoption rate would triple. Not a glaring example of salt and light.
What I find greatly lacking is the connecting of pregnant girls together with adoptive families. If Christians would stand outside of Planned Parenthood with signs that read "We'll adopt your baby" instead of "You're a murderer" we might win the abortion argument outright. Then again, that's probably against some backward law somewhere.
I hope you will be able post a pic of you and a soon to be proud grandfather waiting outside the delivery room while is daughter is in the back giving birth to the child of a crackhead who raped her. Light up a stogie and cheer for SD, in the next room will be a brother waiting for his sister to give birth to her own father’s kid. What’s next, men marrying goats?
I appreciate your thoughts on the lack of Christian adoption, Steve.
Freedumb is on the march.
