I'm sure you remember this horror of an anti-choice ad that has doctors straight up lying about the South Dakota abortion ban.
Well, the worst lie was spouted off by Dr. Mark Rector, who says in the ad that the ban "does provide exception for the life and health of the mother." It doesn't.
Something interesting: Several little birdies have told me that the oh-so-honorable Dr. Rector is actually Leslie Unruh's son-in-law. A family of liars; sweet.
But seriously, Dr. Rector is lying to the women of South Dakota--hold him accountable. Let Rector know that using his position to lie to women is reprehensible.

Somehow, I imagine that talking to Dr. Rector about abortion is somewhat akin to talking to a brick wall about the finer points of Derrida.
All anti-choice roads lead back to Leslee Unruh...
Dear Dr. Rector,
In the Vote Yes on 6 commercial you claim that [It] "does provide exception for the life and health of the mother."
Lies make Baby Jesus cry.
No post really seemed to match this, but I just heard a great song by Malvina Reynolds, as sung by Rosalie Sorrels
(go check them out, they're awesome)
an excerpt from "Rosie Jane"
"When that baby is a child,
It will suffer from neglect,
Be picked upon and pecked,
And run over and wrecked,
And its head will be crowned with the thorn.
But while it's inside her
It must remain intact,
And it cannot be murdered till it's born."
sounds familiar, eh?
