I guess these guys will never learn. Save the babies by breaking laws. Of course they try a diversion tactic by claiming voter fraud by SD Healthy Families (even though no one has voted yet).

Kelo-TV’s version

Argus Leader version;

The Campaign for Healthy Families said in a written statement that it complained to Secretary of State Chris Nelson that the side favoring the abortion ban – VoteYesForLife.com – has received 19 anonymous contributions, or contributions from donors without listed addresses, totaling about $11,500. The letter, signed by Jan Nicolay, co-chair of the ban opponents’ committee, said the contributions violate campaign finance laws.

I’ll give them credit for covering this, but it should have never gotten to the Supreme Court. It is blantantly obvious that Roger Hunt setup a shell corporation to hide a secret donor’s name, some would call that money laundering. I have a feeling we will never know (but I have some pretty good guesses).
