Trickster takes on South Dakota

Great post from Trickster on South Dakota's new abortion ban.

There are more cows than people in South Dakota but, unfortunately, more people than cows in the S.D. legislature.

Here's a taste:

South Dakota's action banning all abortion except in cases that threaten the life of the mother is the exact legal equivalent. Whether you agree with Roe or not, it remains the law of the land and there is no doctrine that says states can opt out of federal laws that don't suit them--just as there is no doctrine that says that presidents can.
