Or so it would seem with the South Dakota senate's attempt to seize control of women's bodies earlier today.

The measure, which would ban nearly all abortions in the state, now returns to the House, which passed a different version earlier. The House must decide whether to accept changes made by the Senate, which passed its version 23-12.

"It is the time for the South Dakota Legislature to deal with this issue and protect the lives and rights of unborn children," said Democratic Sen. Julie Bartling, the bill's main sponsor.

The innocent lives of pregnant women are not to be considered, she didn't add but clearly meant.

Rounds, a Republican and a longtime abortion opponent, has said he would "look favorably" on the abortion ban if it would "save life."

Of course, to these folks, women's lives don't actually count as "life." They find more value in potential humans than living and breathing humans. Such is the "culture of life." Ironic, isn't it?
