SD Makes National News w/Abortion Bill

As noted in both SD and national media:

Senate passes abortion ban

Before the eyes of the nation and a standing-room-only gallery, the South Dakota Senate on Wednesday voted 23-12 to ban nearly all abortions. HB1215 must go back to the House, which has already passed it, because it was amended earlier this week in a Senate committee to say that “due process of law under the Constitution of South Dakota applies equally to born and unborn human beings.”

South Dakota passes abortion ban

South Dakota’s state senate voted on Wednesday for an abortion ban aimed at giving the conservative-tilting Supreme Court an opening to overturn rulings granting women the right to the procedure.

It’ll be REALLY interesting to see what SCOTUS has to say about this!
