We now know why the South Dakota legislature did not include exceptions for rape or incest in its abortion ban, courtesy of state Rep. Joel Dykstra (R-Lincoln County):
“I think ‘rape and incest’ is a buzzword,” said Rep. Joel Dykstra about not including those conditions in the abortion bill. “It’s a bit of a throwaway line and not everybody who says that really understands what that means. How are you going to define that?"
Yes, according to Joel (Dick-straw) Dykstra one cannot define "rape" or "incest" in legal terms.
