Doeden would be easiest for a strong Democrat to beat


 If you're not a white person in South Dakota there is no right to life.

And, a showdown between Howdy Doody Dusty Johnson and interim South Dakota Governor Larry Rhoden in the Earth hater gubernatorial primary will nominate Tubby Toby Doeden who would be the easiest for a strong Democratic nominee like Troy Heinert to beat. But, conventional wisdom purports that if Rhoden gets out Jon Hansen and Doeden will split the anti-SDGOP establishment vote giving Johnson the nod. Delegate diversity and more likely uncivil war at that party's state convention will fill the rest of the ticket mindful that most are packing.

1. Abortion is health care and a pregnant woman is the patient. 

2. Ectopic pregnancies kill women. 

3. Rich women have full reproductive rights while women at the lower income margins suffer chilling effects on those rights. Women in Texas, Wyoming and South Dakota who can afford it simply jump on a plane and fly to Albuquerque, Minneapolis, Denver or elsewhere for their procedures. Imagine a woman on the Standing Rock or Pine Ridge doing that. 

4. South Dakota’s repeated attempts to restrict access to medical care are not only mean-spirited, they're discriminatory anti-choice extremism. 

5. "Pro-life" is simply code for white people breeding. The extreme white wing of the Republican Party is driving the abolition of women’s rights because they’re wedded to the Great Replacement Hypothesis. African-Americans terminate pregnancies at about the same per capita rate as white people do but don’t take their jobs. Latinas, however, have fewer abortions per capita so the extreme white wing laments it's hemorrhaging jobs to Latinos. 

6. No foetus in the United States has any civil rights. Republicans preach civil rights for human blastocysts but deny the protections of the First, Fourth and Ninth Amendments to people who enjoy cannabis. 

7. Republican politicians drive their anti-woman crusade to raise campaign dollars so ending reproductive rights in red states is Balkanizing women's health care. 

8. A blastocyst is no more an unborn child than it is an unborn grandparent. Foetal development is undefined in US Constitutional law so if someone calls it a baby that's an opinion and not a legal definition. 

9. There is no foetal heartbeat until at least ten weeks into a pregnancy. What an ultrasound “hears” at six weeks are cells beginning to build a cardiac system entirely dependent on amniotic fluid produced by a person with actual civil rights.

10. States that ban or punish women from going out of state for their procedures or medications is government overreach and are violating the Commerce Clause enumerated in the United States Constitution. 

11. One fifth of all pregnancies end in miscarriage or as some would call God working in mysterious ways but when a person with a free will chooses to terminate a pregnancy the creator doesn’t condone that decision? How does that work?

12. Only 1% of abortions occur in the third trimester and are performed for medical reasons such as foetal anomalies or maternal life endangerment.

  2. Shad Olson: "Even their "wins" are confession. If Jon Hansen is responsible (he isn't) for making the North Dakota AG back off of a legal challenge to the South Dakota carbon pipeline ban, he most certainly could have lobbied the single vote needed in the Senate, or the four votes needed in the House, to kill the prison deal he and running mate voted against for political optics. Hansen had NOTHING to do with turning back the legally unfounded North Dakota saber rattling against South Dakota. And pretending he did, while looking impotent to defeat the $650-million sweetheart prison proves the truth of their two token "NO" votes on September 23. After voting multiple times as prison task force members to advance the project and get it to launchpad.

    You may believe that's "rain" on your pant leg. I don't."
