From Reuters:

Feb 22, 2006 - SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota (Reuters) - South Dakota's state senate voted on Wednesday for an abortion ban aimed at giving the conservative-tilting Supreme Court an opening to overturn rulings granting women the right to the procedure.

well fuck. obviously it violates roe. now it seems a matter of whether or not precedent will be honored

Sickeningly good strategy, though. Now that W has tilted the Supreme Court in his favor, it makes sense to initiate the steps for a legal challenge that could cripple Roe v. Wade.

NARAL has a great website (Who Decides?) that grades and profiles the repro. rights and health laws in each state. A number of states have laws banning abortion ready to apply as soon as Roe is overturned.

And yet, it seems like people feel this is inevitable. And that they're not doing much to fight it. What will it take to get the dem youth of America off its ass?

I am asking myself the same question. Something tells me the Democratic Party needs to get more angry.

Or we need to get a new party.
