As noted in both SD and national media:
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.â€Â
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!
