Cancel all vacations to South Dakothanger

Leave the men to attempt to impregnate their goats.

1. South Dakota legislature is exhibiting authoritarian tendencies
Edited on Mon Mar-06-06 05:26 PM by Selatius
If this is happening over abortion, it could just as easily happen over anything else including free speech rights. An elected legislature can trample on the rights of individuals as easily as any tyrant can. What a women does with her body is her own choice and no other. Why people care so much about what others do with their private lives is beyond my thinking.

This kind of authoritarian tendency must be fought and destroyed as the hypocrisy it is in all corners of this land. If it is not okay to have an abortion, why is it okay to have the death penalty? Who made them judge, jury, and executioner over who gets to live and who gets to die? Did I not get the memo that it is now okay to do God's job of judgment?

Edited on Mon Mar-06-06 05:28 PM by Wilber_Stool

10. Boycotting states that ban abortion is a good idea. We should
do it across the board on everything. Buy blue. Forget red.
