In South Dakota, a petition drive has been launched to overturn the state’s new ban on abortion. The South Dakota Campaign For Healthy Families is aiming to collect enough signatures to bring the abortion question to a statewide referendum in November. The state’s governor recently signed legislation making South Dakota the first state to ban women from receiving abortions except in cases where it will save a woman’s life. Under the law doctors will face up to five years in prison and a five thousand dollar fine for performing an illegal abortion.
