Protect choice in your state!
The worst has happened: South Dakota has banned abortion.
What does the law do? South Dakota’s criminal ban outlaws abortion in almost all cases and does not protect a woman in cases of rape or incest or even when her health is in danger. Doctors who violate the ban could face up to five years in prison.
The law is part of a larger anti-choice strategy to overturn Roe v. Wade altogether. To quote the South Dakota House Speaker Matthew Michels, "I think the stars are aligned." [Los Angeles Times, 2/25/06]
Our opponents may be fired up over this latest victory, but we can’t let them achieve their goal of overturning Roe v. Wade.
Please join us in sending a message to U.S. governors asking them to hold the line on a woman’s right to choose. Fill out your information to the right to send your governor a message today.
