It has begun.
Yesterday, South Dakota passed a law that makes it a crime for a doctor to perform an abortion except where necessary to save a woman's life (and that latter caveat could open up a big can of subjective worms).
The law makes no exceptions for rape or incest.
Now think about this: Under this new law, if a young girl in South Dakota is raped by her drunken uncle and becomes pregnant as a result, she will be forced to carry that pregnancy to term.
Furthermore, the rapist could have the same parental rights as the mother.
And they call this "pro-life"?
