Bithead: “But of itself, that suggests that abortion is not a constitutional right.”
Why?
David: “There is exactly one abortion clinic in South Dakota and I don’t believe it full time one. There is just not an overwelming demand for abortion services in South Dakota.”
This isn’t a safe inference. You are aware, aren’t you, that state governments have made it rather hard to start providing new abortion services, particularly in states such as South Dakota? (Also that most of the abortion clinics in the country only perform the procedure on certain days; there’s nothing especially weird about not being a “full time” clinic.)
This doesn’t have much to do with whether there’s market demand for the medical service; it has to do with a deliberately hostile regulatory environment.
Anticopyright.
