South Dakota (The State of Choice)
[On the 2006 SD Abortion Ban]
To "Oklahoma"
(Words by Oscar Hammerstein
Music by Richard Rodgers)
Parody Lyrics by Marcy Shaffer
Arranged by Greg Hilfman
SOUTH DAKOTA!
WHERE A RANGE OF CHANGE IS TAKING SHAPE.
WHERE AN EGG AND SPERM
HAVE RIGHTS SO FIRM
THEY TRUMP EACH LIVE CASUALTY OF RAPE!
SOUTH DAKOTA!
WHERE THE ZEALOTS SMELL IT'S THEIR DEBUT.
HE, THEY TELL TO LEAD.
AND SHE, TO BREED.
WELCOME BACK TO 1952!
IT’S PART OF A TACTICAL START.
BUT WHAT’S A HEARTLAND WITHOUT ANY HEART?
WHEN YOU DECREE:
NOTHING STOPS A PREGNANCY.
THE TRAGEDY OF COAT HANGERS, NOTE, SOUTH DAKOTA.
AS YOU VOTE THIS TO BE.
