Story yoinked from kightp.

So it was all over LJ and the news when South Dakota and Senator Bill Napoli banned abortion even in the case of rape.

The latest development is that now Sioux tribal President Cecelia Fire Thunder has offered to open a Planned Parenthood clinic on the Pine Ridge reservation to serve South Dakota women.

kathrynt got permission from President Fire Thunder to post contact info in case anybody wants to send donations to help out.

I expect to see this all over the blogosphere by tomorrow. Ha! In your face Napoli!

Thanks for the clarification. The difference between federal and state jurisdiction is a bit confusing for non-Americans.

Heh. Sadly, it is indeed more than a bit confusing for a large percentage of Americans as well. Unfortunately, some of them appear to hold high-level public office, and not just work at McDonalds.

Y'all explained it better than I think at least 50% of my fellow countryfolk could.

Pardon me while I go drown my sorrows in some tea, now. :P

(Speaking of which, anyone know a good source for snarky political icons?)
