Oglala Sioux Tribe on the South Dakota Abortion Ban

Posted by Billbar from IndyMedia SF

The President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation, Cecilia Fire Thunder, was incensed that Governor Mike Rounds signed the bill banning abortions. "I will personally establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on my own land which is within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation where the State of South Dakota has absolutely no jurisdiction," she said.

The Love Ends When You're Born in South Dakota

Posted by Billbar from Bob Geiger's Blog

After South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds signed legislation last week banning nearly all abortions in his state, he said, "In the history of the world, the true test of a civilization is how well people treat the most vulnerable and most helpless in their society." That’s an amazing statement coming from the governor of the state that houses the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, which has long been one of the bleakest places in North America from a socio-economic point of view.
