And some other good election news
In South Dakota, another conservative assault on women's rights was kicked to the fucking curb yesterday as The People voted to reject a proposed law that would ban all abortions for any reason other than the most life-threatening circumstances. The regressive proposal was seen by anti-choicers as their best chance to challenge Roe v. Wade and ultimately get abortion banned nationwide. I'm extra delighted to see this lunacy rejected because it's a proposal that anti-choicers on this side of the border assumed was in the bag, and were trumpeting as a template for the anti-choice legislation they want in Canada. Guess what, fundies: if it ain't happening in a place like South Dakota, it sure as fuck ain't happening in Canada.
In Arizona, a proposed amendment to ban same-sex marriage was likewise given the heave-ho onto the garbage heap of idiotic legislative proposals. The issue has a long way to go, but I consider every step in a progressive direction a victory.
Again I say, well done, America. Well done.
