Lakota Values Prevail

Cecelia Fire Thunder has been ousted as president of her reservation's tribal council after she proposed an abortion clinic on the Sioux reservation without the approval of the Oglala Sioux Tribal Council.

 Mr Will Peters, the council member who filed the complaint, said "The Lakota people were adamantly opposed to abortion on our homelands." He added that, under Lakota values, abortion is wrong and life is sacred. [The Guardian 30 June, 2006]
