So says South Dakota. The governor signed the reprehensible law into being today. From the article:

South Dakota lawmakers believe President Bush may have a chance to appoint a third justice in the years before the legal battle over the South Dakota law reaches the nation’s highest court.


Even if you don’t pray, start now for Justice Stevens’ health and that he doesn’t decide to retire in the next few years.

There is a part of this that has stood out to me:

...and the Legislature set up a special account to accept donations for legal fees.


Is that common? I don’t recall hearing of legislature starting up a special fund for donors to give to help pay for advancing an agenda before.

This bullshit is about control and making one group of people’s beliefs into law and not letting the individual decide what is medically and morally right. Ugh.
