Oglala Sioux Tribe on the South Dakota Abortion Ban : SF Bay Area Indymedia
by Mike the Usurper at 6:16 pm EST, Mar 28, 2006 |
The President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation, Cecilia Fire Thunder, was incensed. A former nurse and healthcare giver she was very angry that a state body made up mostly of white males, would make such a stupid law against women. "To me, it is now a question of sovereignty," she said to me last week. "I will personally establish a Planned Parenthood clinic on my own land which is within the boundaries of the Pine Ridge Reservation where the State of South Dakota has absolutely no jurisdiction."
Way to go! |

No shit. I hope she can find funding for it... lord knows the Oglala Sioux aren't exactly rolling in cash. |
