70-yr old doctor defies South Dakota's obscene anti-choice law |

Doctor flies into South Dakota to perform abortions
By Drew Griffin and Kira Kay

SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota (CNN) --
Not a single doctor in South Dakota will perform an abortion, which is
why Dr. Miriam McCreary has come out of retirement.
Once or twice a month, the 70-year-old grandmother takes a 45-minute
flight from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to
perform abortions at the last clinic in the state willing to offer the
procedure.
"I want every child that's born, to be born into a family that wants a
child. I don't want children to be born into a family where they are
not wanted and can't be cared for carefully. That's the tragedy,"
McCreary said.
South Dakota is the focal point of the nation's debate over abortion.
Backed by a strong Christian movement, Gov. Mike Rounds signed into
law last month a bill that will make performing abortions a felony --
except to save the life of the mother.

There is an error in the original article. The part that says "Backed by a
strong Christian movement" is wrong. The law was not backed by a strong
Christian movement -- it was backed by a gang of holyrollers and
biblethumpers who don't give a damn about women or children.
If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a holy sacrament.
