Proposed South Dakota Abortion Law: Too much of a good thing or just not the right stuff?

Proposed South Dakota Abortion Law: Too much of a good thing or just not the right stuff? February 21, 2011

It’s not every day that I’m sympathetic to an abortion article in Mother Jones. Actually, today I’m not either; but I’m sure that how some will read my critique of the proposed South Dakota legislation that would make it legitimate to kill someone who is threatening the life of a fetus/unborn child. I’m all for pro-life legislation, but I think we pro-lifers have to be certain that it’s good legislation and strategically sound. In the case of South Dakota, I’m not convinced.

Mother Jones, incidentally, seems to be concerned that there’s not enough abortion in South Dakota. So much for “rare” in “safe, legal, and rare.”
