S.D. Women Raise the Activism Ante
When the South Dakota legilsature recently passed what's thought to be one of the nation's toughest abortion laws, a blogger named Molly gained early March attention with her educational campaign for women.
Today, the campaign steps up a notch, such that today's top blog post and two most-cited links refer to the efforts of Cecilia Fire Thunder, president of the Oglala Sioux Reservation in Pine Ridge, S.D., to offer her reservation as the site for a Planned Parenthood clinic as a way to skirt the state and federal laws governing abortion. Their activism is aimed at S.D. Gov. Mike Rounds and state Sen. Bill Napoli, who's being challenged for his personal definition of a "simple rape," (as if it's his to decide?). He's been Googlebombed because of his comments. "Don't mess with Fire Thunder," says the blogger at After School Snack.

Not sure what to make of us, but maybe a bar's not the best place to get drunk in Texas? And at least Dick Cheney doesn't ask the hotel staff to remove the brown M&M's from the candy dish.
