Lefty Bloggers Freak Over Deceptive Mother Jones Claim
It has been a tough 2011 for infanticide supporters. Serial killer Kermit Gosnell and his accomplices were indicted for a fraction of the hundreds of murders of infants they committed, and separately, Planned Parenthood has been caught in multiple locations supporting underage prostitution of foreign nationals... child sex slavery.
Battered and bruised, these advocates of minority genocide have been looking for a way to counter-punch, and have made a desperate bid to right their sinking ship by claiming that a South Dakota law would justify murdering abortion providers. The only problem with their argument is that like most wild claims, it is entirely made up.The law is hardly controversial, and merely provides parents with the legal coverage to protect their unborn children and wives against assailants. Of course, that claim comes from the state legislator that is sponsoring the legislation, not a Mother Jones activist, so you'll have to decide on your own which claim is more credible.
"This has nothing to do with abortion because abortion is a legal act," Jensen told the TownHall reporter. "This only deals with protecting against illegal acts. We're trying to bring some continuity to South Dakota code. Making unborn children a protected class under the law is consistent with the rest of our state code." Instead, the bill could allow those who stop violence against pregnant women to have a defense. "If someone walks up to a pregnant woman and starts punching her abdomen to abort her pregnancy, that woman, or her husband, could use justifiable force to save that child's life," the legislator said

Abortion is legal in SD in all circumstances? I somehow doubt that's true, and if it isn't then this argument falls apart.
