Why is South Dakota such a conservative state, to the extent of adopting such an extreme abortion law?
I know that South Dakota is mainly a Republican state. But what are the other social, religious and political factors that contribute to this extremity? The law bans abortion under all circumstances other than when the life of the mother is in jeopardy. I am not here to ask whether abortion is right or wrong. Rather, I would like to know the factors, be it social, political or religious, that make South Dakota such a conservative and pro-life state. Because it’s their right to do so. There are people that believe life begins at conception. Roe v. Wade was bad law anyway because the Supreme Court usurped the power of the Legislative branch and has at times usurped the states rights to restrict abortion. There is no right to privacy in the constitution. Plus abortion violates the hippocratic oath that doctors take: swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfil according to my ability and judgm
