First, South Dakota outlaws abortion of any sort, though there may be exceptions for those who have been Napolied.
Next, Missouri attempted to cease funding for birth control for the poor. The legislation would have also prohibited state-funded agencies from referring those women to programs that could help them. Culture of life, my ass.
Now, Ohio would like to get in on the action. Rep. Tim Brinkman, bless his vile little heart, has introduced a bill that would make it a felony for a woman to obtain an abortion, or to leave the state to obtain one. Further, anyone who helped her obtain an abortion, or leave the state to obtain one, could be charged as well.
Even if such legislation is ultimately voted down, the mere fact that someone actually thought it might be a good idea is pretty damned disturbing. Folks like Mr. Brinkman and Mr. Napoli almost make me wish I believed in Hell.
