South Dakota seems poised

to completely outlaw abortion.

History is paradoxical, in that it largely runs on pious hopes for the future. right now the Praetorian meme is simple: South Dakota outalws abortion, the Supreme Court dominated as it by time servers and smug bastards uphold said ban, the GOP ascends to electoral heaven on a pillar of fire.

Simple.

We need to be realistic. We must start organizing now on the assumption that reproductive choice will be outlawed within a year.
The cohorts must affected by this must be ruthlessly politicized and brought to the polls on a promise of payback, vengeance and mayhem.
Don't assume we can go national with this in 2006. The right targets and races have to be highlighted.
One thing in our favor is that our enemies are the worst sort of pants pissing cowards imaginable. They can talk tough all right, but bounce their heads off the electoral wall a few times and they'll scream for mommy all the same count on it.
Break some shitwad like DeWine or Santorum in two and watch how these DC dingbats will fall over themselves to "compromise" on reproductive rights.
But all that starts now with a few realistic assumptions.
