Standing on the Precipice of Success for Abortion Rights
Smiles are big and hopes are high here in South Dakota with the first numbers of 55 percent NO and 45 percent YES. With these early results, the optimism of the campaign to defeat the abortion ban has proven to be correct. We are hopeful that we're standing on the precipice of another clear democratic mandate for access to reproductive health.

We intend the comments portion of this blog to be a forum where you can freely express your views on blog postings and on comments made by other people. Given that, please understand that you are responsible for the material you post on the comments portion of this blog. The only postings that we ask that you refrain from posting and that we cannot permit on our website are requests for legal assistance and postings that could cause ACLU to incur legal liability.
One important law in that regard is the prohibition on politically partisan activity. Given our nonprofit status, we may not endorse or oppose candidates for elective office. That means we cannot host comments on our site that show a preference for one candidate or party. Although we in no way wish to discourage you from that activity elsewhere, we ask that you not engage in that activity on our website (or include links to other websites that do so). Additionally, given that we are subject to very specific rules concerning the collection of personally identifying information through our website (names, email addresses, home address, financial information, etc.), we ask that you not use the comments portion of this blog to solicit this information from users of our website. We also ask that you not use the comments portion for advertising or requests for legal assistance, and do not add to your comment links to other websites, as we cannot be responsible for the content on other websites. We are not able to respond to unsolicited inquiries, complaints or requests for assistance sent to this blog. Please direct your complaint or request for assistance to the ACLU affiliate in your state. Requests for legal assistance left in the blog comments will not receive a response or be published. Finally, the ACLU cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any information in the comment section and expressly disclaims any liability for any information in this section. 3 Responses to "Standing on the Precipice of Success for Abortion Rights" |

I am looking at your website for the first time and I am finding very interesting things. My question is this. How can you support abortion but call for the shut down of Guantanamo and the ending of "extraordinary renditions" by the CIA where you say people are kidnapped and tortured. How can you say that you are for America when prisoners in Guantanomo are known terrorists that if had the chance would shoot down Americans on site. If you could give me some more insight on how you could believe in this, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

No where on this website do I see the rights and the civil liberties of the unborn mentioned here. It seems to me this organization is based only on satisfying the selfish needs of the individual, rather than improving the moral fabric of our society. The ACLU should be disbanded with its leaders being tried in court for condoning such murderous acts and treasonous tendencies.

The bigger issue you pro-life people are missing is the fact that abortion is all about the woman's health. Don't any of you remember that before abortion, most women died in labor. How dare you ask that we disband this women's health issue. Don't you realize that w/o abortion, we would have some 50 million women who would now be dead. Where's your common sense.
