ATTENTION: ALL WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE IN THE GREAT STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
Good News! You you have hereby been relieved of the need to make any decisions about your own uterus. The males of the State have willingly taken over that pesky and bothersome control from you:

S.D. Governor Signs Abortion Ban Into Law By CHET BROKAW, Associated Press Writer - Mon Mar 6, 1:36 PM ET Gov. Mike Rounds on Monday signed legislation banning almost all abortions in South Dakota. The Legislature passed the ban late last month, focusing nationwide interest on the state as the governor decided what to do about the measure. The law, designed to raise a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion, is scheduled to take effect July 1. Under the law, doctors in South Dakota will face up to five years in prison for performing an abortion except when the procedure is necessary to save the mother's life. Rounds issued a technical veto of a similar measure two years ago because it would have wiped out all existing restrictions on abortion while the bill was tied up for years in a court challenge. South Dakota Planned Parenthood said it planned a quick court challenge.

And you silly women thought that your government didn't care about your health and well-being. I'll bet you all feel pretty foolish now!
