Perfect. So glad to hear someone from the state speaking up. If I were up for getting my backside kicked (I am not), I would have said much this week to people who have been making comments about where you live. I realize that when a state makes a decision, it's easy to generalize, but it's really unfair for people to assume everyone who lives there supports what happened.
Actually, I live in Minnesota. Near to SD, but not in it.
I am close enough that, if an underground railroad starts up to get women to abortion providers in other states, I may end up contributing. At the very least, I would be giving funds.
To be clear, this outlaws abortion (mostly) *in* SD, rather than for all resident's of SD anywhere, yes? If so, then it would be an aboveground railroad. :)
There is some talk about that, actually. In fact, I think some places have at least passed laws to make it illegal to transport a minor across state lines for purposes of procuring an abortion for her. Dunno if anyone has passed laws relating to women too old to need parental consent, but I wouldn't be surprised.
I live in Moorhead, Minnesota, which is literally right across the border (and river) from Fargo, ND. The two cities are separate politically, but very much one city socially and economically. I live in Moorhead, but work in Fargo, visit friends in Fargo, usually go out to eat in Fargo, shop for groceries in Moorhead but computer equipment in Fargo, etc.
That may be why you're confused. No need to apologize, it's an odd arrangement. :-)
