When bread is short, beef up the circus

With SC unemployment pushing toward what is expected to be 14% this year, massive spending cuts, and an unemployment comp system that's broke, some of the almost entirely male legislature's more conservative members want to take another run at abortion.

Makes sense from a political standpoint. Can't get blood from a turnip budget-wise. Raising taxes? No way. So you might as well throw in some red meat for the base. What else will there be to do?

The governr's indicating he'll sign the bill if passed, as he did an older sibling bill last session. 

Which, if nothing else, underlines the incoherence of what "libertarian" means.
