In 2006, South Dakotans had a thoughtful and thorough debate about banning abortion. The people of the state stood up and decided that such inflexibility and intrusion on personal, private decisions is wrong.
South Dakota already has some of the strictest rules and regulations governing abortion in the country. A woman is allowed the time and provided the information to search for the right answer for her and her family.
Even those who are strongly pro-life recognize that each person?s circumstances are unique and one law can?t possibly provide for all the difficult circumstances.
It is frustrating to have this debate again so soon, but I trust South Dakotans to once again use their experience and good judgment and realize this initiative has the potential to do more harm than good.
By signing this pledge, I promise to do all that I can to help defeat this ban and end this emotional and divisive debate.
