38,000 Signatures Certified, South Dakota Abortion Ban on Ballot!!

It’s official folks, the South Dakota Secretary of State Chris Nelson, has verified the signatures and approved the referrel for the ballot in November.

KELOland.com has described the abortion ban, HB 1215, surprisingly accurate for a traditional media outlet (it’s the website for KELO, a local TV station)

South Dakota Secretary of State Chris Nelson says enough signatures have been turned in to refer the law to a statewide public vote in November.

The Legislature passed the measure in an attempt to prompt a court challenge aimed at overturning the US Supreme Court’s 1973 decision in Roe versus Wade that legalized abortion.

Rather than go to court, opponents instead gathered petition signatures to put the proposed ban on the November ballot.

I ask now, that everyone visit Focus South Dakota to learn about the battle going on, and contribute a few bucks to Focus South Dakota to help defend our constitutional rights.

It’s not about South Dakota, it’s about protecting Roe, that’s why NARAL and Planned Parenthood have joined in the fight as well.
