Project for the Fascist Control of Women's Bodies Near Completion

I'd like to offer a 'fuck you' to all so-called Centrist or moderate Republicans who held their noses and voted for Dim Son thinking there was no difference between the candidates, that he was a compassionate conservative (sic), and/or thought there was any hint of a whiff of a sense of a modicum of a variation on a theme of Republicans having any regard for the human rights of women whatsoever.

Vote Due on South Dakota Bill Banning Nearly All Abortions.

Lawmakers here are preparing to vote on a bill that would outlaw nearly all abortions in South Dakota, a measure that could become the most sweeping ban approved by any state in more than a decade, those on both sides of the abortion debate say.

If the bill passes a narrowly divided Senate in a vote expected on Wednesday, and is signed by Gov. Michael Rounds, a Republican who opposes abortion, advocates of abortion rights have pledged to challenge it in court immediately — and that is precisely what the bill's supporters have in mind.

Optimistic about the recent changes on the United States Supreme Court, some abortion opponents say they have new hope that a court fight over a ban here could lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that made abortion legal around the country.

"I'm convinced that the timing is right for this," said State Representative Roger Hunt, a Republican who has sponsored the bill, noting the appointments of Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. to the court.

"The strong possibility of a third appointee sometime soon makes this all very real and very viable," Mr. Hunt added, a reference to conjecture that Justice John Paul Stevens, 85, might soon retire. "I think it will all culminate at the right time."

This makes me physically ill.
