South Dakota: "Screw Roe v. Wade"

[maggiekarp]

I mean that if more effort is put into preventing abortion, like actually educating people instead of saying "DON'T DO IT", there will be much less abortions. Abortion shouldn't be outlawed, but it can certainly be decreased. People will still need abortions even if they're illegal, and I'd rather them do it in a safer environment.

I think that partial-birth should be banned (except for mother health yadda yadda) because it's so pointless. Why carry it just to kill it when it's an actual baby?
Parental consent letters shouldn't be required; that's a private thing, and a girl can decide if she tells her parents or not. It depends on the relationship, and there's probably a good reason a girl wouldn't want her parents to know, like if they're psychos.
The Lacy Peterson thing should depend on how pregnant the woman is, I guess. Kind of like how abortions shouldn't be allowed past a certain point in the pregnancy (third trimester, right?)
