South Dakota Reservation Bans Abortion, Suspends Tribal President Seeking Abortion Clinic

South Dakota Reservation Bans Abortion, Suspends Tribal President Seeking Abortion Clinic
The tribal council of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation has voted to completely �ban abortion on the reserve, ending efforts by council president Cecelia Fire Thunder to establish an abortion clinic within tribal territory.
The Oglala Sioux Tribal Council also voted to suspend council president Fire Thunder, saying she solicited donations for an abortion clinic without the permission of the council, Keloland news reported Wednesday.

Fire Thunder has also been suspended as tribal president pending an impeachment trial for acting outside her authority.

No word on how the money is going to get back to the people fool enough to send it to her.
