Well, if you thought the SC getting to review the partial birth abortion ban was a dig, you aint seen nothin yet boys and girls. These people must not have waited long after Alito was nominated even to start drafting this doozie.

State prepares to pass bill banning all abortions except to save mom's life
A direct attack on Roe v. Wade is coming from the South Dakota legislature. The new bill, which outlaws abortion, makes no exceptions, not for a pregnancy caused by incest or rape. It would only be legal—the only exception if it would save the pregnant woman's life.
Doctors who perform abortions could face up to five years in prison. The bill passed the State Senate 23-12. It's expected to pass the House again and then go to Governor Mike Rounds' desk. The bill's sponsor says he thinks the antiabortion movement has momentum on its side and a—quote—“change in national policy on abortion is going to come in the not-too-distant future.”
Republican South Dakota governor Michael Rounds, Mathew Staver, president and general counsel of Liberty Counsel and Brigitte Amiri, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union Reproductive Freedom Project joined the ‘Abrams Report’ to debate and discuss the proposed bill.
I'm not going to bother to quote the excerpts from the show, you can read them from the link or watch the video of it on the linked page.
Here we go. Buckle up folks, the ride gets a bit bumpy from here.
