ALL analyzes intricacies of South Dakota's new abortion law in 'Celebrate Life' article.
WASHINGTON, D.C. � After researching the new law in South Dakota banning all surgical abortions, American Life League legislative analysis director Gualberto Garcia Jones gives an in-depth review of the law in the latest edition of Celebrate Life magazine by American Life League. Below are excerpts from the enlightening review:
"The 40th state, the 46th in population, has shown the biggest heart of all the 50 United States. There, David has struck down Goliath and the people are beginning to believe that the culture of death may also in turn die � there, the Women's Health and Human Protection Act (H.B.1215) was passed by the legislature and it was signed into law by Governor Mike Rounds (R). Barring a ballot initiative or court challenge, that means effective July 1, all intentional abortions are illegal.
"The intricacies of this bill, bad journalism and bad faith have caused the mainstream and even some pro-life reporters to misrepresent this law as containing a 'life of the mother exception.' In fact, the Woman's Health and Human Protection Act contains no such exception.
"The Women's Health and Human Protection Act is quite simply the most consistent, unabashedly pro-life legislation passed in any state since the Roe v. Wade decision. Mind you, the law isn't perfect, but it is consistent with the belief that human life is sacred and the intentional taking of it should be both illegal and punishable.
"The clouds are lifting atop the pro-life movement in Washington, D.C. and the states from South Dakota, to Michigan, to Tennessee, to Alabama, to Georgia, to Kentucky, to Ohio, to West Virginia and these states are speaking loud and clear, 'We want to end the abortion genocide now!'"
