Actually the Law takes into effect around July, so what we need now is Prayers.
The PP folks are gonna throw Everything they have at the stoppage of this law.
Now the Spiritual forces are lining up do to battle. Pray the defeat of PP on this one!
Also, now if other states follow suit with SD, then PP could run out of funds by all the legal $$ they’re gonna have to spend.

So to satisfy my curiosity, i spoke with 4 different sponsors of the SD bill. In all they were generally friendly to my questions.
- Contraception will always be allowed, even those that prevent implantation. the scope of this bill does not cover implantation, nor did any of the legislators express any interest in banning hormonal contraception. They all said there is about zero support for that in SD.
- There is no provision for women traveling out of state, or people taking a woman out of state. It is even possible to advertise abortion transport services to women in South Dakota on a webserver not in South Dakota. It would even be legal to complete an online transaction to purchase a drug that would terminate a pregnancy, as long as the webserver was not in South Dakota. “Long-arm” jurisdiction was not expressly granted, nor did they want to in this case.
- This in no way affects in vitro fertilization, and was not intended to, or intended to be used to later on ban. The legislators said they would be happy if this bill remained law, and would not seek any further restrictions on other medical procedures like IVF.
- most of the sponsors seemed to think that even if this ban somehow held, Sioux City Iowa is 90 miles away, and women will just go there. They anticipate some type of “Bus-Ticket” campaign by Planned Parenthood, where tickets are given to women to travel to Iowa or Nebraska to have an abortion.

Three cheers for the State of South Dakota ! ! !
The State of Mississippi could be next as a similar bill is now being considered by both houses of the legislature. The Mississippi Governor has promised to sign it into law if the bill is ever enacted and reaches his office.
The State of Missouri is right behind as its legislature is mulling over proposals to enact a law limiting or abolishing abortions in that State.

All, I can say is that the law fails to recognize the seriousness of abortion and makes it to be a lesser crime than what it should be.

I agree with you!
But the thing to appreciate here is that South Dakota has taken the FIRST SMALL STEP and, hopefully and with our prayers, this will lead to a larger step by the next State or States.
Hope springs eternal!

One day at a time…
I don’t think we can ever expect to see contraception outlawed in the US. Just too much a part of the culture.
Lets just get Roe vs Wade overturned, and then we can start to add laws banning inter-state commerce in abortions…

I agree - we must first rid the most obvious evil. Hopefully, in that effort, people’s hearts will turn, their minds will open, and then they will begin to comprehend that legalizing contraception was one of the first steps down the slippery culture of death slope, and will be more willing to revisit the other issues including contraception, in vitro fertilization, embryonic stem cell research, euthanasia, etc.
It is the first step of a long, hard journey, and we must prayer hard for the Holy Spirit’s help along the way!

One problem with this law is that it seems to be stating that protection comes not from the essense of life but from the ability to tell whether it is there. The law makes sense in terms of practicality but as matter of consistent protection of the preborn from fertilization it does not! That’s my main criticism of the bill and that’s why I don’t look at it as a step in the right direction.

Dear Bones-IV:
I am with you on all your points! I, too, recognize the “imperfections” of the bill enacted into law by the State of South Dakota.
What comforts me and many others is the fact that this State was able to muster the vote of the majority in both houses of the legislature, regardless of party affiliation! The voice of South Dakota’s general population seem to resonate in the final votes of their chosen representatives.
As crucial and important the issue of abortion throughout the U.S. has come to be, this South Dakota law could be the harbinger of hope, and of better things to come, in this continuing and hard-fought battle against the culture of death.
Let it be done!

Another point I must emphasize is that the abortion doctor if charged will end up paying a $5000 dollar fine. Whereas he could get a life sentence. My concern, is that personhood is seriously weakened in this law.

Dear Bones-IV:
Many States in the Union (and many countries in the world) have not recognized the “personhood” of an embryo and, for that matter, the “unborn.”
That’s the main reason why we have unmitigated abortion all around us!
We should give credit, at least, for this courageous act of the State of South Dakota!

Again, the FIRST thing we need to do is get R v. W overturned. Once that is done we can work on getting a state to recognize a fetus as a person…then when the libs attack, get it recognized by the SCOTUS.
