On the South Dakota abortion ban
Just a little detail update on the South Dakota abortion ban.
(CBS/AP) South Dakota moved closer to imposing some of the strictest limits on abortion in the nation, as the state Senate approved legislation that would ban it except when a woman's life is in danger.
The bill, designed to wage a national legal fight about the legality of abortion, passed 23-12 Wednesday.....
Supporters of the ban have said an anonymous donor has pledged to provide South Dakota with $1 million to help defend the law in court.

Not knowing anything about the political leanings of the SD legislature, I'll pose the obvious conspiracists question: How much was spent to "buy" the ban?

That's what I was thinking. I did a little reading two weeks ago when the house vote took place, and anti-choice seems to really be the main opinion, but I also thought what you did.
The South Dakota legislature has to be about the cheapest to buy in the country. Don't know that for a fact, but I'm willing it's cheaper than Texas.
