AP: S.D. Bill to Ban Nearly All Abortions

According to AP News via Iwon ...
South Dakota moved closer to imposing some of the strictest limits on abortion in the nation, as the state Senate approved legislation that would ban it except when a woman's life is in danger.

The bill, designed to wage a national legal fight about the legality of abortion, passed 23-12 Wednesday. It next returns to the state House, which has passed a different version.

The measure would make South Dakota the first state to ban abortion in nearly all circumstances. Doctors would face up to five years in prison for performing abortions unless a woman needed one to save her life. ...

The bill's main sponsor is a Democrat. Hopefully, if it passes, it will make it to the Supreme Court in record time. I trust precedent still rules there.
