Welcome to South Dakota, vanguard of the counter-enlightenment in reproductive rights.
From PBS: "Already, South Dakota is perhaps the most difficult place in the country to get an abortion. There's a 24-hour waiting period and mandatory counseling to discourage the procedure. The law requires parental notification in cases where the patient is a minor. Only one clinic, Planned Parenthood in Sioux Falls, offers the procedure."
Nice, huh? Well, it gets better (uh, worse). It seems it's all about virginity and the alleged sanctity thereof -- see Digby, Echidne, Amanda Marcotte, Maha, and The Wege.
