And lawmakers in South Dakota have introduced a new attempt to ban abortion. The Women’s Health and Human Life Protection Act would permit abortion only to prevent the death of a woman. Victims of rape or incest would be allowed abortion under several restrictions. They would have to report the rape within 50 days, submit blood samples to law enforcement, obtain records for physicians, and provide the name and address of the alleged rapist. The new measure comes three months after South Dakota voters rejected an abortion ban on the midterm ballot.
