South Dakota, will you stop f**king with us? Enough already! South Dakota's House of Representatives has approved a bill requiring a woman seeking an abortion to be "counseled" first at a so-called "crisis pregnancy center."
Proponents of the bill say they are trying to assess whether women are being forced to end a pregnancy, as a doctor would have to sign off that the abortion is "voluntary, uncoerced, and informed." The bill, which refers to the woman as a "pregnant mother" (agenda, anyone?), requires the woman to have pre-abortion counseling and be informed what kind of help is available to them if they continue the pregnancy. The bill also requires the woman to wait 72 hours after first meeting with the doctor who'll perform the abortion. That time period is what anti-abortion activists claim is giving women time to think, but in reality it makes scheduling the procedure more difficult for working women or women with children, as they have to go to not one appointment, but two. And considering the vast majority of counties in America do not have an abortion clinic, terminating a pregnancy can involve driving long distances in some parts of the country.
