On the way to work today I was listening to NPR. They were talking about national politics when they shifted to South Dakota. Apparently there is a measure on the ballot in South Dakota that women need to know about. A group there is trying to make abortions illegal in the state. Exceptions are: rape, incest and danger of the life of the mother. However, there apparently is something in there that states that if doctor’s perform an abortion and one of those things is not the case then they can be prosecuted. So, on NPR they were saying this means that if this measure passed that no doctors would be performing them due to the risk.

Yikes.

The people behind this measure are hoping that it passes and that it becomes the first stepping stone to overturning Roe v. Wade.

Double Yikes!!

If you are in South Dakota please vote against this measure and protect a woman’s right to choose!
