This didn't take long

Alito barely got his robes tailored before they got this one going.

South Dakota governor signs abortion ban

Nearly all operations outlawed in direct challenge to Roe v. Wade

You can find the story here.

This might be a case of waking the sleeping giant my dear Republican friends. Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America notes:
"A 92-year-old woman, horrified by the governor's action, picked up the phone to make her first-ever gift to the reproductive rights movement, and a mother of three called us, crying, to send her support. And South Dakota may not be the only state to ban abortion — 10 other states currently have abortion ban bills pending."
This move combined with the efforts to let pharmacists not fill birth control pills will do more to show a new generation of women that they must work to protect their rights than all of the efforts by women's groups to reach out to more women in the past decade combined.
