I'd like to meet:
People who share the same beliefs as we do. People who can see that our society isn't as peachy keen as some want to believe and want to do anything in their power to help it.

It is twenty two years later, and it's still religous terrorism vs. Roe V. Wade."

This is where we wish to give a big FUCKYOU to things we're against.
This week, our big FUCKYOU shall go to:
"H.B. 1215,"
H.B. 1215 was written in response to the rejection of a bill outlawing abortion. H.B. 1215 forbids abortion under nearly every circumstance, including rape and incest. The major instance where the abortion IS allowed is if the pregnancy threatens the mother's life. Even in this case, the doctor is told explicitly to attempt to rescue both parties.
H.B. 1215 may even threaten the legality of RU-486, an "abortifacient drug".
H.B. 1215 is known by most of the legaslative members as well as the governer of South Dakota as an attempt to overturn ROE V. WADE, which determined that under ANY circumstance, womyn are allowed to receive an abortion within the first trimester.
H.B. 1215 is hugely appraised, but still partly criticized.
"The task force report did not include the testimony of several legal and medical experts who spoke in support of keeping abortion a safe and legal option, leading to criticism that the majority report was biased and medically inaccurate."
We think H.B. 1215 is a blatant attempt to overturn Roe V. Wade, which is insanely unjust. A womyn's right to choose should remain hers. Government controlling a womyn's birth right violates the fourth ammendment, and is just a stepping stone to overall control. H.B. 1215 should be booted out, using the first ammendment, before we allow that right to be taken away as well.
