South Dakota and all that

I thought I should draw attention to the interesting post by PZ Myers; as another godless liberal who also happens to be a white male, I feel like I also perhaps don't give this issue as much of my attention as it deserves.  I don't even know what the situation is around these parts, but I've heard that the heavy Catholic population has made Rhode Island surprisingly conservative on the abortion issue for a state that is overwhelmingly Democrats.
