Job Openings in South Dakota
With South Dakota's insane decision to ban all abortions, even if the mother's life is at risk (a sentiment not, unfortunately, unique to SD), there is going to be an increase in certain types of jobs, assuming the brains behind the abortion ban have also voted to fund:
Child Protective Services will need more social workers and clerical staff to deal with all the kids being damaged by abusive and neglecting parents who didn't want them to begin with, and follow those removed from such homes and placed in foster care;
Foster Parents will be needed in greater numbers, as will group homes and warehouses that store unwanted and abused kids until they can be placed in foster homes;
Emergency Room physicians and staff will be needed in greater numbers to try to save those women who attempt to end their unwanted pregnancies the old fashioned way, with hangers, knitting needles, chemical substances, and back-alley abortion docs.
I am one of those odd people who believe that no one should be allowed to breed dogs or cats until every single animal shelter is empty of animals needing new homes. I also believe that no anti-abortion laws should be passed until every person who is against abortion for whatever reason is required to adopt, after passing certification examination of course, as many children as possible, with the goal of emptying the system of all children needing new homes where they will be properly cared for and raised with loving kindness. And, if they are not certifiable (well, foster parent-wise, as I can pretty much guarantee some of them are certifiable in other ways), then they have no say in the decision making about abortions, period.

I absolutely agree! I am probably one of 3 teachers at my school who are pro choice and it blows me away because we all have to deal with unwanted and uncared for children everyday. We complain about them everyday. In the same breath I hear the same teachers saying that even if the mother's life is at stake - "what better gift could you give to your child than your life?" - abortion should be illegal. So I guess now we are going to be legislating people's own personal sacrifices?! My principal told me that the only political issue that he cares about is abortion. Even if a candidate is going to take away his funding, he will vote for them if they say they are anti- abortion! It blows me away!
This whole situation is scary, not to mention regressive, and I hope it doesn't catch on up here in Canada!!
