Post Roe v Wade abortion law in South Dakota only allows for exceptions to save life of mother
During a Sunday morning appearance on CNN, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem was asked whether she thinks there should be exceptions for survivors of rape and incest when it came to abortion laws.
Apparently, she does not.
Ms Noem’s interview with Dana Bash on *State of the Union *covered a wide range of topics given that the governor is seen as a leading contender to be Donald Trump’s running mate.
On abortion, she spoke in favour of the issue being decided by individual states post-Roe v Wade, referencing a decades-old trigger law that came into effect in her state after the Supreme Court struck down the 1973 decision.
Abortion is now banned in South Dakota, with the only exception being to save the life of the mother.
Why is it that there’s only one way to teach republicans sympathy?
Empathy, just like any other trait exists on a spectrum. Republican’s capacity for empathy is on the very low side, so sympathy is hard to come by.
What is “capacity for empathy”? Ebeneezer Scrooge is the perfect example of a person with high capacity for empathy but lived without sympathy (and therefore acted without compassion) until he was shown why he should have sympathy and changed his behavior Most people are not like this.
For the grifter subset of right wingers (the other subset is their victims), I don’t believe they have much capacity for empathy, there’s nothing they could be shown to increase their sympathy until the negative effects reach all the way into their tiny circle of compassion which often consists of just themselves, sometimes children or spouses (successors).
