There is nothing to read here. The content is over there, to your right.
I may, however, at some point, put something here. Some day. Eventually. No pressure.

Are you paying attention? This is the stepping stone to challenging Roe v. Wade. Consider the political leanings of the Supreme Court...

SD House Approves Abortion Ban
The South Dakota House has passed a bill that would nearly ban all abortions in the state, ushering the issue to the state Senate.
Supporters are pushing the measure in hopes of drawing a legal challenge that will cause the US Supreme Court to reverse its 1973 decision legalizing abortion.
The bill banning all abortions in South Dakota was passed 47-to-22 in the House.
Amendments aimed at carving out exemptions for rape, incest and the health of women were rejected.
The bill does contain a loophole that allows abortions if women are in danger of dying. Doctors who do those abortions could not be prosecuted.

The Washington Post examines it in a little more detail here.
As does The New York Times, here.
Even if you don't follow politics and regardless of your moral views, this is going to be an interesting situation to watch develop.
You've heard about Rev. Fred Phelps and what he's got his minions up to, yes? At military funerals, no less. ugh. Just... ugh.
Shirley Phelps-Roper, a daughter of Fred Phelps and a lawyer for his church in Topeka, Kan., said neither state laws nor the Patriot Guard can silence their message that God killed the soldiers because they fought for a country that embraces homosexuals.
“The scriptures are crystal clear that when God sets out to punish a nation, it is with the sword. An IED is just a broken-up sword,” Ms. Phelps-Roper said. “Since that is his weapon of choice, our forum of choice has got to be a dead soldier's funeral.”
-from the Globe and Mail's article "Taking On Phelps".
Three cheers for the Patriot Guard Riders!

I'm in the middle of re-reading this. It's probably one of the most interesting articles I've read in a long while; I've already rambled one or two journal (paper!) entries about it and have added a load more titles to my "must read" list. But then, I enjoy this sort of thing. I never would have associated Ariel of Disney's "The Little Mermaid" with the Magdalene. Did you? (Though I would not be at all surprised if Silverfoot did. Just sayin'.)
more later.
