Good. A few less child murderers at a great site.

I'll be glad when liberals move out of South Dakota and never return there.

Abortion laws in this state will no more affect tourism than it would any other state. It's all stuff and nonsense. Those who believe it's ok to murder innocent babies just like to whine. Maybe they'll get an irresistible urge to go to Wisconsin.

[clawrence3]

Amen! I've been meaning to take the family there for a long time now.

As a South Dakotan from the Mt. Rushmore area, I don't believe that the abortion issue will negatively impact tourism at all. Our tourism industry is based on families, not the people who are ardently pro-abortion. The strident pro-abortionist have no interest at all in vacationing in our area or booking any conventions here. No concerns here at all about our tourism industry.

The governor's office has set up a call center with five lines just to take calls about the abortion measure.

Why five? They only need 1-888-ABORT-YES and 1-888-ABORT-NO

Maybe they can come up with bumper stickers of choice.

I brought my family to see Mount Rushmore

and another option

I came alone due to my abortion.

or maybe

Boycott South Dakota, the state that doesn't permit the killing of children in the womb. (For this one I guess it will have to be a large bumper).

[Berlin_Freeper]

Drunken LibIdiot floozies never visit anywhere besides the mens' toilet stall in the bar and the abortion killing tables.

Who do they think they are fooling?

[the invisib1e hand]

Abortion Law May Affect S.D. Tourism

Lame propaganda alert.

[Exton1]

This is bogus story. Do you really think that more than a few nut cases even care about abortion so much that they will not take a vacation there? So what if Melvin an Bruce give up Mr. Rushmore.

[Exton1]

This is a propaganda story that Goebbels would be proud of.

[Troublemaker]

I see the article is written by Chet Brokaw...any relationship to Tom Brokaw (who was born in South Dakota)?

[Once-Ler]

I doubt many tourist are coming to SD for its world renowned abortion clinics. This story is a joke.

SD will be able to count on taxable living workers to counter act any loss in tourism dollars.

[marsh_of_mists]

What's the matter with all of you? I say the only thing for South Dakota to do is go back to murdering babies! I mean, we're talking about tourist revenues here!

[taxesareforever]

Some callers said they were so upset that they would never visit Mount Rushmore, South Dakota's No. 1 tourist attraction

Yeah, they were probably calling from France or Germany.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Yeah, when I have my choice of Hawaii, the Carribean, Asia or Australia, I usually also check out Pierre South Dakota first, to see what amazing sights they have to offer me when I'm on holiday.

[Clemenza]

Yes it will. I for one plan on spending more money there than usual when I drive through on I-90 next month.

[A6M3]

I would like to suggest that the South Dakota State Legislature declare that on the date the Supreme Court made Roe v Wade the law of the land, that this date will henceforth be an annual day of mourning and memorial for the 30 million plus babies that have been murdered as a result of the courts decision.

Gerard A. Baker, superintendent of the "Corps of Discovery II: 200 Years to the Future" project and the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, headquartered in Omaha, has been named superintendent of Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Keystone, South Dakota. The appointment will be effective May 30, 2004. Baker succeeds Don Striker, who recently accepted an assignment with the National Park Service's Comptroller's office in Fort Collins, Colorado.

He graduated in 1979 from Southern Oregon State University, Ashland, Oregon, with bachelor of science degrees in Criminology and Sociology.

Baker has lectured extensively on American Indian issues. In 1997, he was a consultant to Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan on their "Lewis & Clark: A Corps of Discovery" film, which had a special preview at the White House.
