South Dakota has banned abortion. South Dakota now outlaws abortion in almost all cases even in cases of rape or incest or when a woman's health is in danger. Doctors who violate the ban could face up to five years in prison.
This legal strategy isn't just happening in South Dakota. Anti- choice lawmakers are pushing similar legislation in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia, all with the intent of ending the right to choose through state courts.

No matter which side of this debate you are on, this legislation effects every woman. Whether you're pro-choice or anti-choice, let your voice be heard. It is your representative's job to represent you, but he/she can't do that until you tell them how you feel on the issues. Complacency is the death of democracy. Tell Your Representatives How You Feel.Feel Now.

Do you feel MySpace.com poses a threat to your child's/teen's safety?

Do You Network With Intregrity?

1. Do you have a sincere desire to help others get what they want in life?

2. Do you "listen" more than you talk?

3. Do you help others feel comfortable when speaking with you?

4. Do you ask, "How may I help you succeed?"

When we come from a position of giving, helping and supporting the success of others, people are more willing to give back in return.

Successful networking isn't about what you can get but about what you can give.

Thank you Sharon Michaels for this wonderful tip.
