South Dakota aiming to overturn Roe v. Wade:
“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.”
