South Dakota: Fight the Abortion Ban!

Earlier this year, the South Dakota legislature voted to deny women safe and legal access to essential reproductive health care services. House Bill 1215, which was signed by Governor Rounds in March, would prohibit abortion at all stages of pregnancy, with only a limited exception if necessary to save the life of the woman. The people of South Dakota banded together in opposition to this broad abortion ban, creating the Campaign for Healthy Families and gathering enough signatures to defer implementation of the ban pending a statewide referendum in November.

Learn more about the dangers of abortion bans and visit the Campaign for Healthy Families website to learn more about the referendum.
