South Dakota bans abortions, starting a chain of events which their obnoxious smug legislature hopes will eventually overturn Roe v. Wade. Fundies everywhere piddle selves in delight.
Showtime refused to show an episode of its R-rated anthology series Masters of Horror because it featured scenes with aborted fetuses (http://www.chud.com/index.php?type=news&id=5731) (fetii?).
This was out of fear of upsetting the fundies.
The precedent this sets bothers me the most. Even more than the thought of all the way abortions will be handled by the poor and the desperate in that Godforsaken state...
Wait, WHAT? The same fundies that stick a giant, full-color photo of an aborted fetus on the side of a van and drive it around Manhattan? (And if not, can we get the two camps to declare war on each other or something?)
