...Also in late February, South Dakota passed a bill in both houses of legislature defying Roe v. Wade. The bill bans all abortions, except in cases where the abortion would save the mother’s life. It does not make any exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or non-lethal maternal health concerns. Doctors who perform abortions in the state could be fined $5,000 and sentenced to five years in prison. The bill now awaits ratification by Republican governor Mike Rounds, who is expected to sign it. If the bill becomes law the Supreme Court would likely hear...

Lozada ’07, and Erinn M. M. Wattie ’06, the show ran from...
...there passed one of the strongest bans on the procedure since the Supreme Court effectively legalized abortion nationwide in its 1973 ruling on Roe v. Wade. Passed by a 23-12 vote in the state senate and approved in the house, the bill prohibits abortions even in cases of rape or incest, the only exception being if the mother's life is endangered. Republican Governor Mike Rounds indicated that he supports the bill. "I believe we should protect human life," he said at a news conference. "If this bill accomplishes that, I am inclined to sign...
