Homework

And so it begins....

S.D. Governor Signs Abortion Ban Into Law.

-Roughtly 800 abortions are performed in South Dakota a year.
-The US Census Bureau reports there were roughly 770,883 people living in South Dakota in 2004.
-Female persons, in 2000: 50.4%

If I'm doing my math correctly, doesn't that mean that only 0.2% of the population of South Daktota get abortions. So yea, obviously we should ban them because my god....that is really effecting a lot of the people in SD.

Looking at the rest of their stats, seems to me like there are bigger issues in SD.

-Persons below poverty, 1999: 13.2%
-Minority-owned firms, percent of total, 1997: 2.5%
-Women-owned firms, percent of total, 1997: 21.5%
-Median household income, 1999: $35,282

Your homework tonight? Look up "Patriarchy" and report back.
