The origins of the wo m e n ’ s suffrage movement in America began in the West. Virtually all of the western states enfranchised women long before states in the east granted women the vote.

Colorado and Idaho followed shortly afterwards.

DITOR Dear Editor, Today I focus on Gov. Rhoden’s “The Right to Worship” comments made in the January 28 edition of The Gregory Times Advocate. His comments illustrate the negative impact of the mixing of religion and politics on America’s democratic politics, which has been a main theme of my letters. The basic problem with this mixing is that it makes the determination of citizen morals a matter of voting. Mixing creates the possibility that one religious group can legislate its morals into state law, and this is exactly what happened in South Dakota. Securing sufficient votes (a mere majority) by forming an enduring voting bloc alliance with the Republican Party, the Rightto- Life religious organization successfully legislated its Bible-based anti-abortion moral into state law. Gov. Rhoden’s comments display how this religion-based legislation has undermined two fundamental principles of democracy: freedom of religion and “we the people” government.
