HB1171 is a bill currently in play in South Dakota which redefines justifiable homicide in such a way as to make it legal to shoot abortion providers in cold blood. No doubt it will not make it out of committee, but that kinda misses the point.
FOR AN ACT ENTITLED, An Act to expand the definition of justifiable homicide to provide for the protection of certain unborn children.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF SOUTH DAKOTA:
Section 1. That § 22-16-34 be amended to read as follows:
22-16-34. Homicide is justifiable if committed by any person while resisting any attempt to murder such person, or to harm the unborn child of such person in a manner and to a degree likely to result in the death of the unborn child, or to commit any felony upon him or her, or upon or in any dwelling house in which such person is.
Section 2. That § 22-16-35 be amended to read as follows:
22-16-35. Homicide is justifiable if committed by any person in the lawful defense of such person, or of his or her husband, wife, parent, child, master, mistress, or servant, or the unborn child of any such enumerated person, if there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design to commit a felony, or to do some great personal injury, and imminent danger of such design being accomplished.
If you have the stomach, read more in a Mother Jones about this. I am going to lose my shit for a moment.
This bill is sponsored by Rep. Phil Jensen a "committed" foe of abortion rights. He is just another chickenshit doushbag from the religious right. He lacks the fucking stones to actually say what he means - he says "This simply is to bring consistency to South Dakota statute as it relates to justifiable homicide" which is bullshit. What a bastard. Every one of these people acts like this - a fucking refusal to step up and actually own the consequences of their actions. These fans of "personal responsibility", these baby jebus loven' freedom hating spoiled shits get the wingnuttery all riled up then sit around and have the gall to stare blankly into a camera and say they had NO IDEA that thirty years of increasingly violent hate speech would somehow be a problem after people start being killed.
I am not better now, but if I do not stop I might write something that is ALL IN CAPS and FULL OF THINGS THAT MIGHT GET ME IN TROUBLE.
Looks like the bill made it out of committee and will be on the floor of the state house.
By the way if you see the beautiful Mrs set.element today, please give her a hug cause today is a hard one. Also I apologize to Spiros for the terrible violence I have committed against the english language.
Peace
quick amendment - the delightful Mrs set.element just pointed out the creepy master/mistress/servant language. WTF? These people are so many damned layers of creepy I just want to take a shower after reading this.
