Daily Kos Endorses SD Campaign for Healthy Families!
O2B: We Support the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families
by Trapper John
Tue Oct 21, 2008 at 09:40:04 AM PDT
Today, we're adding one of the most important, yet least discussed, campaigns in the country to Orange to Blue. And this is a campaign where every dollar you invest will pay a huge return for every American.
Two years ago, the people of South Dakota went to the polls and soundly defeated an extremist right-wing maneuver to ban all abortions throughout the state. But the anti-choice zealots never sleep. They've resurrected their ballot measure, and although they've dressed it up a bit, it's still a referendum on whether abortion should be flat-out banned -- with no practical exceptions.
If the ban passes, the women of South Dakota -- already grossly deprived of reproductive health options -- would simply not be allowed to exercise their right to choose what to do with their bodies. Their doctors would be unable to provide necessary medical treatment, even if they deemed it to be critical. And every other woman in America would have her constitutional right to choose thrown into question, as a law specifically designed to appeal to Justice Anthony Kennedy would rocket to the Supreme Court, inviting Bush's Court to overturn Roe.
That's why we're so proud to announce the latest addition to Orange to Blue: the South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families. The Campaign for Healthy Families is a coalition of doctors, educators, activists, clergy, and everyday South Dakotans from every walk of life who refuse to let the extremists and misogynists force women into the back alleys of Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Yankton and Pierre. They're doing the work that every single one of us at Daily Kos would do if we lived in South Dakota -- they're standing up for their basic rights, and the rights and health of their mothers, sisters, and daughters. And in so doing, they're stand up up for the rights and health of every woman in America.

New Video from the SD Campaign for Healthy Families!
by Karina
Web Editor
Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota Action Fund
This is an important step in getting the word out about the ban and helping people realize the truth about these so-called “exceptions” that our opponents are touting. The video features a poignant example of how these “exceptions” just don’t work and how detrimental this ban could be to people's lives if passed. It demonstrates how utterly inappropriate it is to even think that one could make a law that would work for every single family’s personal circumstances. If you read the fine print, it’s clear that these “exceptions” are so limited and vague that what you end up with is a sweeping ban on abortion. Goodbye personal decisions. Hello government intrusion!
Share this video with everyone you know, and help spread the word about how flawed this ban is and how inappropriate it is to have the government intruding on personal, family decisions.
Visit South Dakota Healthy Campaign for Healthy Families to donate to the campaign and stop measure 11.
Vote No on 11!!!
