Silly Me. South Dakota DOES Care About Children and Women

And here I thought that stupid abortion law was showing the state to be a cold, represive knee-jerk conservative leave it to beaver kind of group. But no! Thank you Children's Defense Fund for opening my eyes!

In South Dakota, a child is abused or neglected only every 2 hours.
In South Dakota, a child is born into poverty only every 4 hours.
In South Dakota, a child dies before his or her 1st birthday only every 5 days.
In South Dakota, a child or teen is killed by gunfire only once a month.
Four whole states rank worse than South Dakota in its percentage of babies born to mothers who received prenatal care.
Six whole states rank worse than South Dakota in per pupil expenditures, and finally,
Nineteen states have worse infant mortality than South Dakota.

See, South Dakota is nothing if not a caring, nurturing state for its children. And now that they're going to have so many more of them, I'm betting those numbers will be jumping. Way to Go SD!
