Originally posted by Gunslinger Yes all RIGHTS are protected......but it was the Court that decided that abortion was a right......not the congress or the state. If Rowe Vrs. Wade were to be overturned by the SC then it would be up to the states to decide unless the congress steped in and made a federal law.
"It is the time for the South Dakota Legislature to deal with this issue and protect the lives and rights of unborn children," said Democratic Sen. Julie Bartling, the bill's main sponsor.
Originally posted by Eagler chickenhawkthe huge majority of abortions today are done for birth control reasons ... period .. or the lack of one.. pure and simplerapes/incest are a very small percent but you'd think they were the majority as loudly as that cry is bellowed in defense of this gruesome and horrific act. It is the first words out of just about every supporter of abortion when the "right" is challengedit turns my stomachdo I think RvW is going anywhere anytime soon? nope .. we as a civilization are not enlightened enough to get rid of it today...should we continue to fight against it? at every opportunity ..
Originally posted by Tarmac The courts didn't need to decide that abortion is a right; it is made so by default when the Constitution stated that the Feds had no power to regulate it - just like all the other rights not specifically listed in the catch-all 10th Amendment.
Originally posted by ChickenHawk So what your saying is that the rape victims should have kept their legs together and because they didn't they should now be thankful that they have a child born out of hate and violence that they now have to raise. They are only a small percentage after all.

Originally posted by lasersailor184 No. Abstinence is the ultimate tool. I believe that teaching about contraception really early makes it seem like it's ok to randomly have sex.
Originally posted by lasersailor184 What's the rate of pregnancies or STD's for those who abstain from sex?
Originally posted by lazs2 this is so silly.... "bleeding and battered rape victim" Isn't there a morning after pill? Why wouldn't she just take that? lazs
Originally posted by Sandman Depends on how you define "sex".Plenty of college and high school age girls consider themselves to be virgins even after smoking the man meat.
