The Weatherman

So the governer of South Dakota just signed into law a bill that basically prevents all abortions.

The new law bans abortion in virtually all cases, punishing doctors who perform one with five years in prison and a $5,000 fine.

The measure bans abortion even in cases where a woman is pregnant as a result of rape or incest, or if giving birth would damage the health of the mother. It creates a narrow exemption in cases in which a physician’s effort to save a pregnant woman’s life results in the accidental death or injury of her fetus.

The conservative movement has a lot of momentum and given enough time (in this case, not much) they’ll have Roe v. Wade overturned.  This is very scary.  This country is about giving rights to the people not taking them away.

Guess it’s time to beef up those contributions to NARAL.

That’s my morning so far. I was greated by a myriad of pages for work this morning…actually that is exactly what happens every morning we’re on call. But the icing on the cake was a nostril diver…yes, a world class nosepicker in the car behind me. He may have gotten his fist in his nose…not sure, but it was close.

I can’t honestly say he ate it…but why pass up a meal like that. I mean, after all that digging, he probably got the equivalent of a jelly donut (and the consistency). Anyway, I’m not thrilled with how this day is starting. Oh, and on top of that, a Bear Stearn’s analyst gave Yahoo a positive rating and a price target of $42…and our stock is still down.
