Abortion ban opponents maintain sizable lead

Opponents of South Dakota�s abortion ban are maintaining their lead over those who favor the law.

With 194 of 818 precincts reporting results, 60 percent of voters cast �no� votes, according to results from the Secretary of State�s Office.

The ban - which outlaws all abortions except those performed to save the life of a pregnant woman - is a direct challenge to the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.

Ban opponents circulated a petition and got enough signatures to prevent the law from taking effect until after the election.

This, by far, is the best news of the night.

Why?

Because this is real evidence that the pro-life movement is a bunch of puffed up bullshit. When people can vote on this, they reject it out of fucking hand.

The pro-choice people now have a long needed victory. When democracy is placed in action, people refuse to accept the wingnut agenda.
