District 9 Republican Candidate Deb Peters; Closet Pro-choicer?

I found her answer to this question interesting, considering her three opponents answered it honestly. So Deb, Anti-choice or Pro-choice?

8. Do you approve or disapprove of Initiated Measure 11, which would ban all abortions with exceptions for the mother’s life, rape or incest? My personal belief on Initiated Measure 11 doesn’t matter, as the initiated measure was put on the ballot by the citizens by collecting signatures. The South Dakota Constitution sets forth this process. This is no longer a legislative issue, and it is up to the people of South Dakota to make their decision. I will support and uphold the decision of not only my constituents in my district, but also the entire state.

Yes is does matter, because we all know that the Vote Yes on 11 people plan to strip the exceptions if they win in November, and they plan to do that with the help of the State legislature.

This is how police stings are supposed to work.

You get a complaint from citizens and you investigate, arrest and hopefully convict. You don’t create crime by pretending to be a 14-year old teenage girl chatting online.

Now all of sudden Palin is transparent.

Now they are making it look like she cooperating by creating her own

“investigation” into the matter. Too funny how they try to con people, and

too scary how people will probably buy into this own, especially if you read

the way the CNN article is written it almost appears as if she is willing to

cooperate with the original investigation.

Unplanned Democracy: Documentary

 

There has already been a lot buzz about this doc on the blogs, and now the MSM in SD is finally picking up on it. It is a bi-partisan movie about the abortion debate in SD. I’m looking forward to viewing it.

 

Lyon County Casino vote today.

 

This is a very important decision that will affect the Sioux Falls economy greatly if passed. Yet no one at the city finance office has been talking about it, they must be busy hiring consultants. My guess is that it will pass 60/40.
