[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] I won't comment on this specific law. I haven't seen its text, and I'm not a lawyer. Nor do I live in South Dakota, for that matter, so the specific law itself isn't particularly important to me. I think that if the people of South Dakota object to this law, their legislators will be replaced in short order. I also believe that the legislators know this, and thus it is reasonable to conclude that, since politicians rarely act for the greater good at the risk of their own jobs, that the will of the people of South Dakota may well be being followed in this case. I don't know the law of South Dakota, but if it's anything like the systems with which I am familiar, this is in fact an issue the state legislature is within its rights to make law on. If the people dislike this law, it will be changed, they are not without recourse in the matter. I have no firm opinion on whether victims of rape should be legally bound to carry the children. Incest, if unconsenting or under age, is rape and should be treated as such. Incest regarding consenting adults, though, should not be treated any differently than any other pregnancy with regards to abortion laws. I fail to understand why incest is considered a special case.
