Someone explain to me where the SDGOP adopted a stance on RL21?
Because it looks like the Minnehaha County GOP is coloring outside the lines on this one, as they blast out to their facebook contacts and use their e-mail list to campaign against Referred Law 21:
Considering this is an issue the SDGOP has not adopted a position on, and there are a considerable number of people on both sides of the issue, you have to wonder what’s going on.
And more importantly, what is the Minnehaha County Republican party doing for candidates? If they’re putting their efforts into an outside ballot measure, they must have put considerable resources into their actual job, electing Republican candidates?
You would think.
If they have people willing to go door to door, they should be helping candidates or trying to defeat Amendment G, not undoing the work of our Republican Governor and Republican Legislature. Good grief.
That is the dumbest comment I’ve read from you today. Just know, I’ll be clapping when amendment G passes, and when it is overturned at the corrupt SD Supreme Court, it will continue the downward spiral of the SD GOP. When it passes again, I will again be clapping because I am not a tyrant, and I support freedom. I can come up with magic definitions of things like life, too; it doesn’t mean you have to live your life by it.
Mind your own business, and this problem disappears for you, boomer.
Christ…the soy boy pontificates again. What a dork.
Who unironically says “soy boy.” Lol, such a pansy, weirdo thing to call someone.
it is the proponents of abortion who come up with magical definitions of what life is.
Everybody else with the slightest comprehension of biology knows that even a single cell organism capable of mitosis is alive, and if it contains human DNA it is human and can’t be anything else.
It’s the ancient Egyptian religious belief that life begins with the first breath and ends with the last which is stupid and has no scientific evidence to support it.
You are permitted to practice that ancient religion, build and stock an elaborate tomb for yourself, and fill it with mummified cats if you want, but don’t impose your crazy religious beliefs on policy. That’s just nuts.
Using religion to support anything is a bad idea. I haven’t met a religion without some weird beliefs. Christians think a man died and came back to life while celebrating it by eating blood and flesh on the weekend.
Nobody is forcing anyone to subscribe to any belief by allowing people to do what they want with themselves and their doctors. You are forcing people to adhere to certain beliefs by banning stuff. Yours is one of the more pathetic attempts at turning the tables I’ve seen in a while, and that is aaying something.
Your example cites precisely why religious interpretation should not be law. Interpretation can change over time. If we use scientific principles or “the slightest comprehension of biology,” we see that a fertilized human egg (zygote) is not life. It does not sustain homeostasis (viability argument in PP v. Casey), just like a chopped-off ear is not a human, though it does contain DNA (I’m not sure of the point you were trying to make here), which is a moot point. We need laws based on facts, not religious interpretation.
Vote yes on G.
If this is what the Minnehaha County Republicans are going to do, to hell with them. No more LDDs or fundraisers, anything.
Butte County GOP has done the same thing. And lied about it. What did they do for the candidates? Nothing. They held a meet and greet at one of their meetings, but neglected to invite two of the candidates. Only invitations to the extremists that they wanted to see elected. No other events held. These groups need to stop masquerading as GOP groups and admit their self interests.
Yankton County GOP gave $1,000 to the anti 21 PAC.
It has become a question of, county by county, what is the Republican Party and Who is the Republican Party? We grew up thinking the Party was a somewhat monolithic state wide organization built on long held principles which formed a broad and powerful coalition of voters by advocating for “common ground” issues. Divisive issues were put aside. No more.
To say it’s fractured right now would be an understatement. You can blame national trends, or you can ask why state leadership hasn’t done anything. The real question now is, how do we bring it back together? How do we get back towards the middle and “common ground “ and away from the extremes? States run by extremists from either party are scary.
The county party is an absolute joke. If the Dems were smart enough, they’d use the restlessness and discontent of the party against them.
