Are SD voters "mad" about abortion?

This morning I opened up my Argus Leader newspaper to a Kevin Woster article entitled; Exceptions in abortion ban proposal key, scholars say. That headline is accompanied by this subtitle - Professor: Voters 'mad' issue on ballot again. Woster interviews a couple political science professors about Initiated Measure 11. Here's what we find in the second paragraph;

An important group of voters will be those who might lean toward abortion limits, but "they're mad that it's back again," said Northern State University political science professor Ken Blanchard. Those voters, he said, "may be the ones who sink the initiative this time if it fails."

The only mad voters are those who wouldn't vote for it anyway.

Going door to door, those canvassing will occasionally hear, "didn't we vote on this already." The answer is NO, this bill has exceptions for rape and incest which is what voters made clear in '06 they wanted to see. When people hear that they say "oh, okay, good." For sure those canvassing for UNHealthy Families are jumping on those moments with statements like, "yes, voters did already vote on this, but a small group of extremists won't let it go." Their only hope is that voters are stupid, that they aren't fully informed, that they can manipulate their emotions, and convince them they need are higher IQ to understand the fine print.

Voters aren't tired of this… this is a nation that still can't get enough OJ Simpson coverage after 13 years. Come on Professor Blanchard, do you really think sixty days of competing commericals and yard signs has so wearied the South Dakota voter that after two years they still have no gas to hear of this again?? If so, God help us. The cries of the unborn are continuous before God day and night, did you know that?? I challenge the weary, angry South Dakota voter to stand before God and tell him you are tired of hearing about the plight of the unborn. I can't be sure, but I'd think there are a few things he'd say he's tired of us whining to him about. Isaiah 1 says he refuses to listen to the prayers of those who have the blood of the innocent on their hands.

Much of November last year on this blog I debunked the voter fatigue myth. You can find those articles - a dozen or so are here under the category search "voter fatigue." I wrote about how tired I am of hearing about voter fatigue. I said I bet Planned Parenthood is tired of the relentlessness of those who think killing children is wrong.  I bet they are weary and wish this would go away. However, when life and death is at stake, and especially when it involves children, South Dakotans have all the energy in the world. I said, don't tell me I look tired.

It's a psychological reality that when we are repeatedly told we ARE something, we start to think it's true.

Planned Parenthood: "South Dakota, you look tired! Are you sure you want to go through this all over again?"

South Dakota: "Oh, well, now that you mention it, maybe I am tired. Yeah, I'm tired of all this talk about abortion."

Media: VOTER FATIGUE AN ISSUE WITH SD VOTERS ON ABORTION

There IS anger in the South Dakota electorate. And a lot of it I might add. Remember 45% of the state in '06 voted for an almost total ban. That's a lot of people who want abortion no where within our borders. Now with rape and incest exceptions many more are on the side of those wanting the killing to stop. So there are lots of angry people. But here is what we are angry at…

- We are angry at Planned Parenthood getting $335 million taxpayer dollars a year to do abortions and they are campaigning here saying keep government out of this decision.

- It's maddening to hear those profiting from abortion now say "let families decide" when they fight family involvement in the abortion decision at every turn

- We are angry that, come to find out, there is NO doctor-patient relationship at all in abortion.

- We are angry that Planned Parenthood covers up sex crimes against minors and give sex offenders a free pass to hurt other women

- We are angry that women are deceived about abortion by Planned Parenthood and then left to sort out the ramifications of it on their own.

- We are angry that five judges gave America abortion on demand and that only now this is being decided by the voters

- We are angry that Planned Parenthood dismembers living human beings (who feel pain at 7 weeks) without anesthesia

Here's the problem so far. We aren't mad enough. If each South Dakota voter was told the truth about the dark underworld of Planned Parenthood those doors would be closed.  As is, we combat massive out of state dollars funding deceiving ads here with the offerings of a few.  It's a bit maddening.

I've been all over the state in the past few months…I have had conversations with hundreds of people…and I have talked with maybe TWO people who are upset about having to vote on this again!! TWO. South Dakota is nothing but ready to rid this state of abortion.
