Watertown columnist says conservative legislators are using language of pro-choice movement

@SoDakCampaigns

From the Watertown Public Opinion, liberal columnist Brad Johnson is taking a shot at three of the legislators who want a special session on COVID, claiming that their rhetoric resembles that of the pro-choice movement:

• Thumbs down to three South Dakota legislators who want the Legislature to prevent employers from requiring their employees be vaccinated against COVID-19. Republican Reps. Scott Odenbach of Spearfish, Taffy Howard of Rapid City and Jon Hansen of Dell Rapids want a special session to consider their proposals.

That’s not likely to happen. Still, it’s ironic these conservative legislators are using language similar to the liberal pro-choice movement.

“Medical decisions should be made through patients and doctors not through corporate coercion or government mandates,” Hansen was quoted in an Argus Leader story. “Free and informed consent requires freedom to choose without punishment or adverse consequences.”

Read it all here.

Ooo.. I might think the call for a special session involves more government, but those sound like fighting words.

  1. Let’s face it. These people are pawns in the liberal movement and are tools of the pro choice movement and being used by RFK Jr. and his minions. The sad thing is that they (the legislators) lack the mental faculties to realize what’s happening to them.

    2. “being used by RFK Jr. and his minions.”– and you have the gall to say –” they (the legislators) lack the mental faculties “– Tell me what RFK Jr. is doing these days?

  2. “My body my choice” doesn’t apply to abortion since it’s another human body (the baby) who has not developed the capacity to choose (nurturing).

    “My body my choice” applies to “vaccines” since it is indeed one’s body under circumspection*.

    * Could I get extra points for using this word without knowing what it meant, but having it be spot-on relevant anyway?

      1. You actually think hundreds of thousands of Americans haven’t died and are still dying because idiots refused masks and vaccines..

    2. You actually think hundreds of thousands of Americans haven’t died and are still dying because idiots refused masks and vaccines..?

      When would an abortion be acceptable to you ( not that it matters)?

  3. Dakota War College now parroting liberal columnists. With content like this, who needs Dakota Free Press?

    1. Soo…I pointed out the columnist was taking a shot at the legislators, and noted that it “sounds like fighting words.”

      Reading for context is not your strong suit, is it?

      1. Pat we are both party to a big or maybe today “huge” tent philosophy with wide ranging ideologies. This brand new laboratory weaponized virus is absolutely a political torpedo being used today as an agent of character change not much different than that of Nancy Reagan’s “This is your Brain — fried eggs!” ad every Boomer laughs at today.
        What isn’t funny is the RNA / DNA sculptured vaccine’s unknown carrier properties onto female eggs not yet fertilized.
        The data in vaccine safety is changing so fast that not even Doctors know the how and why vaccinated people are getting sick with COVID making the vaccination a mute point in discovery. (Could it be that the Virus was built to Mutate rapidly?) NO ! Sarcasm
        Add on to that the simple fact that wearing a cloth mask for a virus is just like wearing a cloth sock for a condom though many are demanding masks again. Both hold zero protection for assumed safety/pregnancy.
        If we can force a vaccine on employees a bill forcing every worker in every State Sponsored Casino to Carry Concealed an easy bill for me to carry in 22!

        1. CH you are spot on. The covid 19 virus has a diameter of about .12 microns. The N-95 masks traps anything larger than .1 microns 95 % of the time. The holes in the cloth masks range in size from 5 microns in a really tight knit material to as much as 200 microns in most fabric. In both cloths the virus can pass right on through.

          It is said that the cloth masks will stop spit and saliva secretions from getting into the air, but as that starts to dry on the mask, the virus can still be blown thru as one breaths.

            1. Many sources on the internet if you want to take the time to look it up as I did. Look for size of Covid 19, hole sizes in N-95 masks and for cloth masks.

        3. __ I urge everybody like you –Do NOT get vaccinated– The ” weedem out policy” Enacted Jan 21 is working , you people are dropping like flies…… Your idiocy is right up there with “RFK Jr. and his minions”….. Have a shot of bleach with a horse dewormer..

          1. You’re not very smart. Please call your nearest hospital and ask them what they are treating covid patients with.

            There is a reason the death rate has decreased.

            Why are democrats stupid?

        4. “RNA / DNA sculptured vaccine’s unknown carrier properties onto female eggs not yet fertilized.”—- Maybe you can check your Reynolds / Wrap weekly

          and tell me WHERE this was ever discussed?

  4. The nonsense about how the vaccine, (unlike the virus,) will somehow impair fertility was a plot line in a sci-fi miniseries called “Utopia.” It debuted on Amazon Prime last September and people who watched it thought it was a documentary. Additionally there was also a big conspiracy theory on facebook a few years ago about Bill Gates, immunizations, and global population control.
    That cesspool is where the people worried about the vaccine and their ovaries are getting their continuing education credits.

    Under the circumstances it seems perfectly reasonable for employers to use a vaccine mandate like an IQ test. The stupid employees will quit, clear all the essential
    oils out of their desks and lockers, and will not be eligible for unemployment benefits.

    The state should not interfere.

      I googled “vaccine infertility mice”
      and found research reports of using a DNA vaccine to induce infertility in mice which holds promise of contraceptive use.
      Nothing at all to do with the Covid messenger RNA vaccine.

      I didn’t find any infertility results reported in mice which were given the Covid vaccine. The results in the mice with the covid vaccines were all good. They didn’t get the nasty results they got when they tried making a vaccine for RSV, nor the much feared Antibody Dependent enhancement which has been seen with the coronavirus which causes Feline Infectious Peritonitis.

  5. Sure while tens of thousands of assumed safe vaccinated people get sick from the China 🇨🇳 Virus we maybe should look back:

    Thalidomide is a drug that was developed in the 1950s by the West German pharmaceutical company Chemie Grünenthal GmbH. It was originally intended as a sedative or tranquiliser, but was soon used for treating a wide range of other conditions, including colds, flu, nausea and morning sickness in pregnant women.Dec 11, 2019

    The consequences of acceptance are staggering….

  6. I appreciate AB’s take on covid and her fearlessness to encourage people to get vaccinated. I dare anyone to say she isn’t conservative…

    1. There are no facts out there to suggest the vaccine affects fertility. I spent enough time tracking down the theories and their origins to have figured this out.

      You can find lots of loony anti-vaxxers on youtube telling you this has been proven by a charlatan in Germany who sells snake oil to suckers, but they aren’t actually doing any research.

  7. The inability of the anti-vaccine crowd to know the difference between research into a contraceptive “vaccine” and the Covid vaccines, is spectacular.

    Going back to the idea of the state interfering in private organizations’ policies, it’s a really bad idea for the government to tell them one way or the other.
    The employees can work for somebody else.
    There are plenty of businesses which have graciously hired very special people, after all.
