Female South Dakota Sioux leader faces impeachment


The male tribal leaders have suspended Cecelia Fire Thunder pending an impeachment hearing after she advocated a women's clinic on tribal lands in response to South Dakota's outlawing of abortions. The tribal council also outlawed abortions on tribal lands. Bitch's earlier post. Just how patriarchal are the Sioux anyway? Meanwhile about 39,000 people have signed a measure to put a vote on the repeal of the state abortion ban on the ballot.
