SD Campaign to restore rights is deadlocked at 47-47% and the only abortions rights ballot measure in the country that is being outspend 3-1. Here is a link to a family made music video we just released that I hope will inspire you to share far and wide. Rick Weiland, co-founder and official sponsor of Amendment G.

Re: Missouri -

Jess Piper has a post on her substack about the struggle to pass Missouri's amendment that is well worth reading.

https://jesspiper.substack.com/p/tax-credits-for-harassing-women/comment/74910740

This quote is from a comment on that post by a person who identifies as Pediatrics on the Front Line:

"Prochoice does not at all mean pro abortion."

"The only ISSUE here is this: Where is the locus of control and who should make the decision?"

"I am Catholic."

"I am also a Pediatrician who dealt with fetuses with anencephaly and many other horrible birth defects for forty years. I had to deal with extremely premature deliveries. I had to counsel couples shortly before the mom was going to deliver a baby that might be 20 weeks or 24-26 weeks. Often we wouldn't know until the baby was born. Yes, accuracy has improved. There is still much uncertainty at times...."

Women made little chubby cheeks angry... so he will take their repro freedom away... This guy is dangerous (and my condolences to his Indian wife and her parents). Is a beard part of their uniform now?

Rogan: Roe was the law of the land and all of a sudden that had been taken away and you have these men trying to dictate what women can and cannot do with their bodies

Vance: Yeah, yeah... but you have women who go too far and try to celebrate it

Rogan: Very few do that

Another video link: look at the lying sack of human waste pretending he does not know of travel ban or arrests. Rogan is actually asking good questions.

Thank you Jessica! I wish Texas was included. But alas it’s up to the Tex Legislature 🥺😳 to bring it up for us to vote. Hopeful we can get democrats in the legislature but it will take several election cycles to accomplish this. Sending positive energy to the other states.

For all my sins, I question whether the opposition of the ACLU of SD and Planned Parenthood was less because the initiated measure doesn’t offer enough protections and more an equal measure of cowardice, and chagrin that a man took the lead in the effort. For my part, if the measure fails I will hold both organizations responsible.

Thanks for the link to the viability discussion. Viability is an important piece of drama in sexual reproduction. Getting a complex organism for a fertilized ova to an fully functioning member of a species has a few important demarcations. Birth is certainly one of them in the higher vertebrates. When does it occur? Why? What changes in the woman? In the fetus become neonate? The law should understand this better. Maybe doctors too.
