dear south dakota:

I would have an abortion. The circumstances under which I would, might, have, or might have chosen to have an abortion are no-body's business but mine and those I choose to tell. They are not the business of any government. I do not accept the proposition that either the state or my sexual partner(s) should have any say over when and if I choose to bear a child. I do not accept any sovereignty over my body and my reproductive organs but my own. If faced with the situation, I will do everything feasible to help other women and girls I know exercise their rights to safely terminate a pregnancy if they so choose. When a state treats women and girls as chattel, it is they that commit a crime.

no love,
me.

(middle bit stolen from elsewhere, but it is certainly full of fine sentiments which i totally agree with.)
