"The Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota plans to blow smoke at the abortion ban signed into law earlier this month that would outlaw all abortions in South Dakota except to save a mother's life.

Should the ban survive court challenges, Oglala president Cecilia Fire Thunder has vowed to "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," according to NativeTimes.com.

Meanwhile, though it is doubtful whether or not doctors on reservations are exempt from murder charges, NT.com writer Tim Giago called the abortion ban "stupid."

Sorry, chief, stupid is as stupid does.

Stupid is blaming the white man for annihilating a large portion of one's people while boxing up the rest and then inviting the white man into the box to annihilate more of one's people.

In 1876, the Oglala Sioux were responsible for massacring Gen. George Custer and his men at Little Bighorn, mutilating and scalping them as they went.

What a difference 130 years make. Today the Oglala Sioux plan to massacre their own children, mutilating and scalping them as they go."
