  South Dakota governor signs abortion ban law - The Boston Globe
CHICAGO -- The Republican governor of South Dakota yesterday signed a law banning nearly all abortions in the state, directly challenging the US Supreme Court's legalization of the practice 33 years ago.
Abortion opponents hope to use the South Dakota law to eventually bring the issue back to the high court, where they believe conservatives added to the bench by President Bush and others who may join it in the future could weaken or dismantle the court's landmark Roe v.
Even before Rounds signed the measure into law, backers in South Dakota said an anonymous donor had pledged $1 million to help the state fend off legal challenges to it.

Thus far, South Carolina is the only state whose courts have upheld the legitimacy of such prosecutions.  But in fact, women in states across the country, including South Dakota, have already been arrested as child abusers or murderers—without any new legislation authorizing such arrests.
In Utah, a woman was charged with murder based on the claim that she caused a stillbirth by refusing to have a c-section earlier in her pregnancy.
South Dakota's legislators, however, should be brave enough to admit that in passing this law they are attacking the women who give that life and ignoring the real criminal and public health consequences of such a law.

As it was in 1889, North Dakota remains a social, cultural, and economic colony, a producer of raw materials, a consumer of manufactures and capital, and an exporter of educated young people.
For these movements, the goal was returning control of North Dakota's government and economy to the people, and they were not afraid to demand that state government organize and operate banking, insurances, and processing businesses in order to bring the benefits of competition, lower costs, and better services to the people.
North Dakota's basic industry, agriculture, underwent major difficulties in the 1970s and 1980s, again emphasizing that the state was a participant in a world-wide economy.
