It could be considered ironic that the South Dakota Legislature became the catalyst that thrust a tribal president onto center stage on a national level.
The passage of a bill in March that limits a woman's right to choose - even in the case of incest or rape - to have an abortion angered Oglala Sioux Tribal President Cecilia Fire Thunder, as it did many people. The nearly total ban on abortion makes an exception only if the mother's life is in danger.
Fire Thunder received national press when she mentioned the development of a women's clinic on a reservation.
That clinic is a go and will be called Sacred Choices Clinic.
