Republicans in South Dakata are pushing a law to legalize the murder of abortion providers:

A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of “justifiable homicide” to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. The Republican-backed legislation, House Bill 1171, has passed out of committee on a nine-to-three party-line vote, and is expected to face a floor vote in the state’s GOP-dominated House of Representatives soon.

Jeebus.

I don’t mean to state the obvious, but it’s pretty clear that there no middle ground here to negotiate. You would sooner get meaningful consensus from Osama bin Laden.
