Washington — South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Sunday defended her state's abortion trigger law that took effect after the Supreme Court's decision to strip away the constitutional right to an abortion. She said in an interview with "Face the Nation" that in the cases of rape or incest, she does not believe one tragedy is "a reason to have another tragedy occur."

"I believe every life is precious ... And we know so much more using technology and science than we did even 10, 15 years ago about what these babies go through the pain that they feel in the womb and will continue to make sure that those lives are protected," Noem said. "And I just have never believed that having a tragedy or tragic situation happened to someone is a reason to have another tragedy occur."

South Dakota is one of 13 states with so-called "trigger laws" on the books, in which abortion would be outlawed immediately or soon after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision that established the constitutional right an abortion.

The high court's ruling Friday striking down Roe — in a case involving a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy — put those laws into effect. South Dakota's measure, signed into law in 2005, prohibits the performance of abortions, except to save the life of the mother, and bans anyone from prescribing a woman drugs that induce an abortion. The law is "effective on the date that the states are recognized by the United States Supreme Court to have the authority to regulate or prohibit abortion at all stages of pregnancy."

1. Tragedy after tragedy

The second tragedy you're talking about, Kristi, is forcing a rape victim to carry a baby to term.

There's a third tragedy - when you, Kristi, stop giving a shit about the baby as soon as it's born.

[SunSeeker]

6. No, every blastocyst is not precious. Women's bodies regularly discard them.

But every woman and girl is precious, and the quality of their lives is much more precious than any blastocyst. Fuck you, Noem.

11. +1,000 nt

[The Unmitigated Gall]

7. Fucking savages.

[paleotn]

9. She believes no life is precious, therefore she's republitrash.

[KarenS]

10. How did these miscreants get elected?

Did no one listen to their speeches or read their platforms? Or did they lie?

[jmowreader]

21. You know how, sadly

A lot of people LIKE politicians who will punish people for not being just like them.

[ananda]

12. People like Noem are our national tragedy.

...

[Traildogbob]

13. Of course every life

Is precious ass hole. Except the ones that get decapitated with your precious weapons of war. Shut the fuck up.

[SammyBrown]

16. Agreed

Such hypocrisy!

[Maraya1969]

14. Notice this comment about medical facilities on Native Land.

"Maybe it is time for the real development of Native reservations since they are sovereign land and open up medical facilities as well as dispensaries. They could end up being very profitable! Which could help them immensely."


Are these medical facilities regulated by the US government or are they separate?

[Mysterian]

15. This is how monstrous the republican party has become

If the American people ask for more of this, they will end up in a country like Iran. Scum evangelists as our ayatollahs.

[Ziggysmom]

18. She brags about her f*cking website which only sends folks off to apply for Federal help

elsewhere. Isn't that SOCIALISM repug Barbie?

[Freddie]

19. I though cruel and unusual punishment was disallowed in the Constitution

Oh wait, that’s just for criminals! Cruel and unusual punishment for crime VICTIMS is perfectly fine! 🤬

[Solly Mack]

20. Well, maybe in her family it is commonplace for half-sisters, who are also double-first cousins

to raise their children who are also their half-sisters, who are also their double second-cousins as well as first cousins. As well as their twice over nieces and nephews.

When your family tree is a stick, incest and rape are your traditional family values.

[iluvtennis]

22. She's not of childbearing age, so she doesn't give a fk.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Yeah, Kristi, rapist's lives are particularly precious, procreate and have more of them

What a brainless tool

[catbyte]

24. UGH! She doesn't give a flying fuck about those "precious little miracles" once they're born

which infuriates me to no end. How many living, breathing South Dakotans did she kill with her anti-Covid mandates bullshit and refusal to support children in her state? She can just go fuck herself.

Sorry for all the swearing but rational thought fails me in the face of such despicable hypocrisy and judgemental mean-spiritedness.

[NullTuples]

25. She said the mothers won't be alone...because churches will help them

And that is no small driving force behind causing so much misery.

27. Snow Crash (Neal Stephenson): an anti-rape device

One of the most powerful SF articles about a dystopian time - not far off.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Crash#Dentata

...a very small hypodermic needle slipped imperceptibly into the engorged frontal vein of his penis, automatically shooting a cocktail of powerful narcotics and depressants into his bloodstream.
From Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson.
Published by Bantam in 1992

Legends and stories surrounding the vaginus dentata or "toothed vagina" have been around for centuries in cultures all over the world. In the Middle Ages, some Christians believed that witches could grow fangs in their vaginas. (Although very rare, teeth can actually be found in vaginas; dermoid cysts are formed from the outer layer of embryonic skin cells, and these cells are able to mature into teeth.) The term vagina dentata was created by Sigmund Freud as a part of his theories concerning castration anxiety.
