South Dakota Moves to Legalized Killing Abortion Doctors
...yep, you read that right ladies and gentlemen
A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of "justifiable homicide" to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. The Republican-backed legislation, House Bill 1171, has passed out of committee on a nine-to-three party-line vote, and is expected to face a floor vote in the state's GOP-dominated House of Representatives soon.
You'll love this snippet:
The original version of the bill did not include the language regarding the "unborn child"; it was pitched as a simple clarification of South Dakota's justifiable homicide law. Last week, however, the bill was "hoghoused"—a term used in South Dakota for heavily amending legislation in committee—in a little-noticed hearing.
Very sneaky, isn't it? Makes you wonder if this hearing was well known that they may have failed to change the language.
Now, excuse me while I throw up as these people prove once again that fetal life is more important than people who are actually born and aren't really pro-life after all.
