The Taliban invade South Dakota

A fundamentalist is a fundamentalist is a fundamentalist. Although the good Christian legislators of South Dakota aren't threatening to force women to wear burqas, they have passed a law that will force them to give birth to babies conceived out of rape or incest. Not being a woman, I don't know if being forced to carry the child of your rapist is better or worse than being beaten for showing your ankles, but I do know both cruelties arise from the sordid influence of patriarchal religion. Patriarchs like women kept in their place, and they aren't particular about the means.
