…but that’s a problem, implies this WaPo article on the status of abortion in the state of South Dakota. At The Corner Tim Graham points out:

When I talk to college students, I cite this kind of an article to explain that reporting isn’t "pro-choice," it’s pro-abortion. When you think something like this is a social good, you complain that it’s not more readily available, cheaper, and easier. When you want more doctors to choose the specialty of abortion "providing," and want abortions provided in every small town, you’re not just for "choice," you’re for making that choice as leisurely as possible. If someone argued that smoking should be available in every bar and public office building, they wouldn’t be called "pro-choice," but "pro-smoking." The same logic applies to these stories.
