All the way to the Missouri River, the dividing line of South Dakota, we saw signs advertising Wall Drug.
Former State Rep. Penny Pullen and I attended a planning meeting of the Vote Yes on Referral Law 6 campaign at the riverside resort.
She brought tears to at least one of the S.D. legislators who supported the bill when she spoke of how they were in the “vanguard of the end to legalized abortion in America.”
Because those in favor of abortion are so profit-motivated, they will have plenty of money to finance its campaign. If you want to help the pro-life side of the campaign, you can do so at the web site linked to above.
In the mid-1950’s, our family visited the establishment and it didn’t really impress me too favorably. It had all sorts of souvenir-type merchandise.
And, that’s pretty much all I remember.
I’m glad we stopped, because it certainly has become famous from all the signs it has put up.
Oh, by the way. Did you know the number of abortions in South Dakota are almost exactly the same number as the population of Wall, South Dakota?
Every year, in this state that is struggling to maintain its population base, the number of babies aborted by out-of-state abortionists equals the 820 people who live in Wall, South Dakota.
"Who will man the checkout counter in Wall, if the referendum doesn't pass?" Pullen asked playfully.
Incidentally, we only saw two Wall Drug bumper stickers. I didn’t have the camera ready for the first one and it was too dark to get the second.
I found this image of the bumper sticker in the Sun-Times the Sunday after we returned.
