Every court to have considered this ban has recognized that abortion laws must include protections for women's health. Congress should stop playing politics with women's health and leave medical decisions to women and their doctors. |
The Supreme Court struck down a nearly identical state ban only six years ago, in part because it failed to include protections for women's health. Congress deliberately defied that ruling when it passed the federal ban. |
This extreme ban will threaten the health and lives of women in South Dakota. History has shown that when women are denied access to abortion care they may resort to desperate measures. Politicians in South Dakota have turned their backs on the women of their state. |
