To elaborate on Ms. Anna's post on the goings on of last Saturday's Legislative Coffee, I'd like to point out two ridiculous flip-flops that made me squirm in my seat:
1) Don't ya know? Representative Manny Steele is all about options! He said so himself repeatedly on Saturday. During the Q&A, Steel pivoted to a point again and again about how "important" it is to have "options." Now if that's not a pro-choice sentiment, I don't know what is. I agree - it is important for women to have options. Manny, my friend, it's time to start putting your vote where your mouth is.
2) And Representative Kari Weems, known primarily for perpetuating myths surrounding rape and conception, voiced her opposition to SB 164, The Birth Control Protection Act, solely because it uses the word "findings" to introduce Section 2. Yet just moments before, Weems referenced the "findings" of the good ol' South Dakota Task Force to Study Abortion. I'm sorry - what?

I used to hate going to those things. Those people consistently say the most ridiculous, foolish things.
Don't forget to snag me a t-shirt at W4W day!!
