That's weird

So, South Dakota has passed what is being touted as a sweeping abortion ban. Fair enough. It's the kind of thing we'd expect from South Dakota.

But what I don't get is why anyone thinks this is a big deal. The way it seems to be couched, I'm not sure that the law will have any effect unless upheld by the Supreme Court.

But doesn't that mean all pro-death advocates have to do is simply decline to offer a legal challenge?

And Planned Parenthood already has the idea to simply change the law again. Get a voter referendum on the books and you can just change it back.

I support banning most abortions, but I don't support childish political stunts like this one seems to be.

That was my immediate thought, but I haven't come across any such opinion before you...
