South Dakota gets a shout out in the book titled, "Full Frontal Feminism" (written by Jessica Valenti, the creator of Feministing). As does Bill Napoli.
I bought the book and some of Napoli's quotes on when abortions should be allowed (only when a virgin is raped) are noted (pages 95-96) in case you're interested. Jessica also gives great praise to those who worked to fight off the abortion ban and keep a woman's right to choose in South Dakota.
By the way, it's a very good book. It's written for women in their late teens/early 20s and touches on a variety of topics. Even though I'm no longer anywhere near my 20s, I have found it a very interesting and entertaining read.

I remember when they google bombed that guy's name. If you google "bill napoli," the first entry is interesting.
I don't even think bush has a verb named after him.
Here's what Graeme's talking about (from smartbitchestrashybooks.com/billnapoli):
Bill Napoli
napoli (not to be confused with the proper noun, which indicates the Italian city)
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): napolied
Pronunciation: nA'poli
1. To brutalize and rape, sodomize as bad as you can possibly make it, a young, religious virgin woman who was saving herself for marriage.
2. To hella rape somebody.
Etymology: From State Senator Bill Napoli's (R-SD) description of an acceptable rape that would merit an exemption from South Dakota's abortion ban.
Example of usage: "Did you hear? Laura's dad totally napolied her, but according to Utah law, she still has to obtain his permission before getting an abortion."
