We got this thorny epistle from one DRose.
Congratulations you idiots, you have set the country back at least 50 years by your stupidity in passing an anti abortion bill. I guess thats the way farmers think.
Its hard to know how to respond to such soaring rhetoric as that. I can only note that I am not now, nor have I ever been, a farmer, unless you count the tomatoes and habenero peppers I put in every spring. But my dad grew up on a farm in Northeast Arkansas, and maybe the idiocy is congenital. Most farmers that I have met strike me as altogether reasonable and well-informed people. Most of them, for example know that the contraction for "that is" requires an apostrophe.
I doubt very much that the abortion bill, if it is signed into law, will survive a Supreme Court challenge. South Dakota Politics rarely takes stands on individual pieces of legislation, preferring instead to comment generally on the issues involved. My ancient faith tells me, however, that all human beings are created equal, male or female, rich or poor, black or white, born or somewhat shy of being born. I am not ashamed of South Dakota and its farmers for taking a stand on that principle.
