South Dakota House Approves Abortion Ban

SD House Approves Abortion Ban
The South Dakota House has passed a bill that would nearly ban all abortions in the state, ushering the issue to the state Senate.

Supporters are pushing the measure in hopes of drawing a legal challenge that will cause the US Supreme Court to reverse its 1973 decision legalizing abortion.

The bill banning all abortions in South Dakota was passed 47-to-22 in the House.

Amendments aimed at carving out exemptions for rape, incest and the health of women were rejected.

The bill does contain a loophole that allows abortions if women are in danger of dying. Doctors who do those abortions could not be prosecuted.

And this is Constitutional...how? Did they not just appoint a Chief Justice who said he would uphold Roe?

From what I gather it goes up through the system forcing the Supreme Court into action.

That's exactly how it works. Someone will have to file suit challenging the law. It will then go up through the court system, first at the state level, then to district and appellate courts, and finally, if need be, the US Supreme Court. All of this assumes, however, that the South Dakota Senate passes the bill and that the governor of that state doesn't veto it.
Bite me.
