If the state has already created such a hostile environment for abortions that there are only 800 performed a year, access for most women in the state has already been cut off.
Most of the women had to travel all the way to the Twin Cities, where they had to endure the 24-hour waiting period - you know, go in, get all sorts of scare-tactic literature, and then come back the next day for the abortion. Most women couldn't afford the time off, the travel, or the hotel room.

Typical liberal stuff, I know, but lately I've been feeling more and more like Kurtz sometime before the story, gazing at the Heart of Darkness while it gazed back at him. I think I need a new job at the very least.

That sound you just heard? Was my cousin exploding in rage and frustration in Sioux Falls.
Send her an e and let her know that I'm channeling my gratitude in her direction.

I do not want to be this close to a "Gus sighting" and an abortion debate.
For the record ... it wasn't me. I wasn't there. However, I will take the deduction.
