If you are going to get raped in South Dakota, make sure you're a "good girl" and make sure to get "brutally raped" too

With the new ban on abortion in South Dakota, many have wondered what the state legislators were really thinking by banning abortion in cases of rape, incest and even to protect a woman's health. When asked by a PBS reporter if there was ever a case in which he could imagine granting a woman the right to a legal abortion, South Dakota legislator Bill DiNapoli described one circumstance quite enthusiatically, "A real-life description to me would be a rape victim, brutally raped, savaged. The girl was a virgin. She was religious. She planned on saving her virginity until she was married. She was brutalized and raped, sodomized as bad as you can possibly make it, and is impregnated. I mean, that girl could be so messed up, physically and psychologically, that carrying that child could very well threaten her life." Also, describing a not so cheery outlook for those hoping to marry for love rather than contraceptive failure, DiNapoli added, "When I was growing up here in the wild west, if a young man got a girl pregnant out of wedlock, they got married, and the whole darned neighborhood was involved in that wedding. I mean, you just didn't allow that sort of thing to happen, you know? I mean, they wanted that child to be brought up in a home with two parents, you know, that whole story. And so I happen to believe that can happen again." Your future: courtesy of Bill DiNapoli's childhood.
