S. Dakota Repubs Want To Legalize Murder of Abortion Doctors

[Rev Dark]

Logan, that explanation is one blackboard short of being worthy of Glen Beck; not a good thing at all.
Occam's Razor in its current parlance is that the simplest explanation is usually the most viable.  If you are going to posit a default setting for it; it is not going to be stupidity or incompetence, it is going to be self interest; and that self interest is often fueled by self-delusion through adherence to beliefs held without evidence to back them up.

Thus the vast majority of "progressive" positions and programs are explained.

What a ludicrous statement; especially given the context of your original, incorrect assertion.
Progressive positions.  Such as equality for women? Racial Equality? Ending slavery?  Worker's rights?  Not stoning homosexuals?
Now, to bring this back to the original subject; the arse-hattery of Self Dakota.  Stupid?  No.  It is part of a deliberate wedge strategy to undermine the availability of abortion and the safety of abortion providers.  Incompetent?  No.  Crafted in such a way to push their agenda forward.  Promoting self interest.  Absolutely; it scores political capital with the support base.  If South Dakota legislators were actually interested in lowering abortion rates they would be promoting full and accurate sex education; not the outright lie that abstinence education works.
The outright evil arse-hattery of misogynist douchebags.
But of course it is all about fetuses.
I will hand this off to the late Mr. Carlin.

"These conservatives are really something, aren't they? They are all in
favor of the unborn, they will do anything for the unborn, but once
you're born, you're on your own! Pro-life conservatives are obsessed
with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that they don't
want to know about you, they don't want to hear from you . . . no
neo-natal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food
stamps, no welfare, no nothing! If you're pre-born, you're fine. If
you're pre-school, you're fucked.

Pro-life... these people aren't pro-life, they're killing doctors! What
kind of pro-life is that? They'll do anything they can to save a fetus,
but if it grows up to be a doctor they just might have to kill it?
They're not pro-life. You know what they are? They're anti-woman. Simple
as it gets, anti-woman -- they don't like them. They don't like women.
They believe a woman's primary role is to function as a broodmare for
the state.
