Surprise of the Day: Rapid City Journal Opposes Initiated Measure 11

I see the Rapid City Journal is opposed to Initiated Measure 11 which--with exceptions for rape, incest, the health of the mother and the life of the mother--would end 98.1% of abortions in South Dakota and finally put a stop to killing children using abortion as retroactive birth control.

We’re opposed to IM 11. We’re opposed to government intervention in a decision best left to the family.

In case it escaped the pro-abortion liberals at the Journal, government already intervened in this issue in 1973. The federal government decided the states and the people have no say in this issue--and that the children being killed have no say, either.

Frankly, the people would like their right to self-government back from the judicial oligarchs...just as I'm reasonably sure that, if asked, the children being killed would say they'd like to keep their lives.

Liberals whining about "government intervention." What rank hypocrisy!

If the killing of an unborn child for convenience sake is "a decision best left to the family," I wonder if child abuse, incest, giving alcohol to minors, and wife-beating are decisions best left to the family, too...
