Cheerful anti-abortion advocate Leslee Unruh is at it again, trying to make sure that at least some small corner of her world lives according to her standards. For the second time in as many election cycles, Leslee's got a referendum on the ballot in South Dakota to make abortion illegal. On the one hand, the current initiative, which allows for abortion in cases of rape, incest or the life or health of the mother, is better than the full ban Unruh tried to pass last time; on the other, the "health" provisions are so vague that it would allow prosecutors to harass any doctor who performs one, meaning most doctors wouldn't.
