I was interviewed three days after moving to SD about how the state can't get enough doctors, nurses, med. professionals to work here.
That was five years ago.
And bills like HB1080 are supposed to make that better? Are legislators sitting on medical review boards??
Everyone knoooows you can't get endometriosis or PCOS or other painful, life-threatening reproductive disease until you're old enough to join the military /j
Personally, if this was an issue about families, I'd want to pass legislation that ensured children weren't going to consider ending their lives. I think that would have more of an impact on families than tested, prescribed, and professionally-monitored medical procedures.
Is that not the job they signed up for? Maybe if there's too many, you should stop trying to regulate every second of the lives of South Dakotans in your state of "freedom."
That or require a reading comprehension test.
Okay I think we're pretty much done here, ugh.
God bless @acbug3 and @ginbear9 whose live threads have helped keep my blood pressure down <3 #sdleg#district24
How can you say you harbor no malice towards any South Dakotan, but repeatedly pass and support legislation (or executive orders) that makes it illegal for them to live their lives with the freedoms other citizens exercise without question? #sdleg#district24#anydistrictreally
Why are South Dakotans so convinced that "girls" couldn't possibly be able to perform at the same level as "boys"?
What happened to the girlbosses, huh?
Trans women are women. Trans men are men. It's rather easy to not lose sleep over this, panelists.

We have finally gotten to the "transgender questions"
I really want to know how many cases of """unfair sports""" actually have happened in South Dakota and how many of them have been enough of a problem vs. how many will be exaggerated for the Noem 2024 run #sdleg#district24
"If you make... brownies... with cannabis... you shouldn't share those with your neighbors" my neighbors share their pot smoke and smell with me all the damn time, I think some amount of "apology" would be nice #sdleg#district24
((Also sorry y'all I don't use this account very much I don't know the livetweet etiquette, if I'm bothering you kings, queens, and royals I apologize.
Okay I'll address my question to make it fit the apparent prom theme I missed of State Budget:
Do you think SD could save money if they didn't have to defend ridiculous lawsuits from the ACLU and Planned Parenthood each year from the bills YOU pass? #sdleg
This is supposed to be a public forum for questions and answers, we've got an hour here. Are we gonna actually get to those?
Though you'd need to get a word in edgewise around the fountain... #sdleg#district24
