South Dakota bans abortion

In case you haven’t heard, the governor of South Dakota signed the abortion ban bill into law last night. (Previous blogging about said bill here.) “The bill would make it a crime for doctors to perform an abortion unless the procedure was necessary to save the woman’s life. It would make no exception for cases of rape or incest but such victims could get emergency contraception.” The news report says that a judge will likely suspend the abortion ban before it takes effect, and Planned Parenthood is going to fight it. This means it will make its way to the Supreme Court, eventually.
