South Dakota Bans Abortion
A number of sites are reporting that South Dakota has banned abortions, in direct conflict with the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court ruling. The law bans almost all types of abortions, including those due to rape or incest and also when the mother is at risk of injury or death. The goal appears to be to push this into the Supreme Court for another ruling, as with two new conservative justices, it is likely that Roe v. Wade will be overturned. Especially as both implied that they would rule against abortion if put to it.
