| No More Abortions in South Dakota? | | 2008-07-22 16:16:12 | | Hehe...this article from Slate.com encapsulated the insanity that has forever gripped the anti-abortion movement. The double-speak required to pass this recent bit of legislation is beyond Orwellian. According to this recent mandate, abortion "will terminate the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being." Huh? Can you run that by me one more time? An implanted embryo is whole, separate, and unique? Then why does a mere separation of the placenta from the uterine wall inevitably result in death? Whether it happens via mechanical methods or spontaneously, it seems to be a near certainty that until the point of viability, which is somewhere between 20 and 28 weeks, detaching this supposedly whole and separate human being will result in its demise.I agree with the author of this article: Abortions should be renamed "separations," and those who choose separation should no longer be held accountable for the consequences. After all, it is a "whole, separat | | By: The Atheist Response | | |

| | Tax Foundation Urges a Stop to South Dakota's Discriminatory Insurance Taxes | | 2008-04-15 23:00:00 | | The Tax Foundation, in a friend-of-the-court brief filed with the South Dakota Supreme Court, urges that state to stop its discriminatory insurance tax system that taxes out-of-state companies at twice the rate of in-state companies. The case, Metropolitan Life Ins. Co. v. Kinsman, is currently before the court on a petition for rehearing. Since explicit discrimination in rates was struck down as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1985, South Dakota is one of 8 remaining states that seek to protect their domestic insurance companies by imposing heavier taxes on out-of-state companies doing business in the state. While on paper all companies pay the same 2.5% rate, in-state companies automatically receive rate reductions, lowering their tax bill to 0.75% to 1.25%. The result is effective discrimination against out-of-state companies which violates the Equal Protection Clause, as the trial judge concluded.While the trial judg | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |
