Heroic efforts of pro-lifers have turned the dream of an abortion-free state into reality
Sioux Falls, South Dakota – On Monday, July 21, eight women arrived at the Planned Parenthood office in Sioux Falls abortions but were instead met with locked doors and a hand-written not indicating the only abortion clinic in South Dakota was closed.
Planned Parenthood remains closed for abortions after their abortionists, who are flown in from other states, refused of work under the new law that went into effect last Friday. The law orders abortionists to inform patients of the humanity of their babies and that the procedure could affect their mental health two hours before the abortion can be done. The law also provides that abortionists can be sued if they do not comply.
This law was the brain-child of attorney Harold Cassidy and passed with the help of determined pro-life leaders Dr. Alan and Leslee Unruh, who pushed for the regulation in the face of opposition even from those in the pro-life movement. The Eighth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals cleared the way for the law’s enactment last week.
In remains unclear if the Planned Parenthood office has permanently ceased the practice of abortion. However, several women who were scheduled for abortions this week went to a pro-life center instead where some have reportedly changed their minds about having abortions.
“The closing of this clinic is historic in that South Dakota is, for the time being, the first abortion-free state,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “It didn’t take the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and it didn’t take a new President or a new Supreme Court. It took the courageous determination of pro-life heroes like Mr. Cassidy and the Unruhs who saw an opportunity to save lives and pressed on until their dream became victory.”
“We applaud their efforts and encourage other states to emulate their campaign,” said Newman.
The Unruhs are currently involved in the Vote Yes For Life Campaign, which would effectively ban abortions in South Dakota, putting the finishing nail in the coffin of the abortion industry there.

Oh contrare monfrare! If PP stayed open even one day then everyone in the PL movement could legally place the following statement on pro-life flyers, Websites, and newsletters quoting the Planned Parenthood franchise:
“The woman has ‘an existing relationship’ with the fetus
that is protected by the U.S. Constitution. Her existing constitutional rights with regards to that relationship will be terminated.”
“The abortion procedure will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique living human being.”
“Abortion increases the risk of suicide ideation and suicide.”

(or something to that effect)

It all sounds so vaguely familiar:
* Caution: Cigarette Smoking May be Hazardous to Your Health (1966)
* Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined that Cigarette Smoking is Dangerous to Your Health (1970)
* SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, And May Complicate Pregnancy.
* SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Quitting Smoking Now Greatly Reduces Serious Risks to Your Health.
* SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Smoking By Pregnant Women May Result in Fetal Injury, Premature Birth, And Low Birth Weight.
* SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Cigarette Smoke Contains Carbon Monoxide.
I don’t get it. When I listened to the National Abortion Federation tape of a meeting discussing how they coped with informed consent laws, they agreed that the most effective approach was to say something like, “A bunch of religious zealots have passed a law requiring us to offer you biased and misleading materials intended to shame and humiliate you. Do you want to review this material?” The women would, by and large, say no.
So why couldn’t PP just say something like, “Under duress, I am required by law to pass on the following biased religious dogma as if it was true”?
There is something really fishy here.
I think the docs can’t stand to say “this abortion will terminate the life of a whole, seperate, unique, living human being” because it throws it right back in their face what they’re doing when they probably try so hard to deny it to themselves. what I can’t get over is that some in the pro-life camp tried to block this law.
I am praying that other states follow suit!!
Now to complete the movement in South Dakota the rights of adoptees to their birth records need to be restored. It is the alleged “privacy” in the parent child relationship that is the foundation for Roe v Wade. Kansas has never had such legislated secrecy between a parent and child. It is time for South Dakota to have similar laws. South Dakota needs to restore an adoptees rights to their original birth records once they are a legal adult.
I would like to know why some pro-lifers objected to the bill.

Baracks Speech was great democratic red meat. Im sure he spoke to the hearts and minds of hillarys people. By the way did anyone hear Chris matthews of msnbc? He basically endorsed barack obama on air. Whats up w that? Anyone who thinks NBC is unbiased is smoking large amounts of crack.
