First, they came for Annette Bosworth…

 

It brings to mind the quote from Martin Niemoller…

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Whatever you may think about the Bosworth prosecution doesn’t change the fact that Attorney General Jackley, in the minds of MANY people both in and out of South Dakota, has crossed the line from pursuing justice to persecution.  There is no way that the Bosworth “crimes” rise to the level of twelve felony charges bearing the potential of 24 years in prison, $48,000.00 in fines and the loss of her license to practice medicine.  Something much more sinister is at work here.

Personal vendetta? Political payback?  Persecution?

In the name of justice, South Dakotans should rise up in mass Stop it.  Paul Jacobs, author of Common Sense had this to say,  ” From my research, that’s the most severe penalty any American has ever faced on a petition-related charge. Conversely, the transgressions alleged against Dr. Bosworth are arguably the least sinister ever prosecuted.”

Whatever it is, it certainly isn’t “justice”.
