Oglala Sioux Tribe President Cecelia Fire Thunder says a clinic on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation could provide abortions if South Dakota’s new abortion ban goes into effect.

They'd obviously do a much better job governing it.

Planned Parenthood has wanted for years to get a toe hold in the Reservations. This is the opening and there ain't nothin these jackasses can do about it. YEAH.

Shannon County, maybe 30-50 miles SSE of Rapid City and over 300 miles from Sioux Falls, where the current PP clinic is. That might work for the women of Rapid City area, but the women of Sioux Falls, Brookings, Yankton, Mitchell, etc. would be better served at Luverne, Mn.

could top the casinos????? Ind an Nation sovereignty is pretty solid!!!

more! What a name (Fire Thunder) for a hell of a woman. You can donate, too, to help get this started.

I can't wait to hear/read what the anti-choicers have to say about this!
