South Dakota Tribe Won't Allow Abortions on Indian Land:
May 31, 2006
The Oglala Sioux Indian Tribal Council voted to emulate South Dakota's abortion ban and forbid the procedure on tribal land. The council also voted to suspend tribal President Cecelia Fire Thunder, who announced plans to open an abortion clinic on the reservation in order to circumvent state law, Keloland.com reported.
Tribal lands are sovereign and the state abortion ban would not apply.
Sioux tribal law, which respects the life of preborn babies, says 'a child conceived, but not born, is to be deemed an existing person so far as may be necessary for its interest and welfare to be protected in the event of its subsequent birth.'
Will Peters, a representative of the Oglala Tribal Council, said what Fire Thunder did amounts to unauthorized political activity.
Peters made a motion to suspend Fire Thunder for 20 days, until an impeachment hearing could occur. "
