South Dakota seems to be making a run for most anti-choice state legislature in the country.
A law passed by the 2005 legislature-- which has been put on temporary hold while it's being challenged in federal court-- would force doctors to inform pregnant women that the procedure ends a human life and "terminates the constitutional relationship women have with their unborn children."
Then the state's predominantly anti-choice Abortion Task Force released its biased report recommending a total abortion ban, among other crazy things. (Here's the final version of the report.)
The state legislature also recently passed a parental notification law, which is awaiting the governor's signature.
Now a survey shows that-- SURPRISE!-- more than half of South Dakota legislators favor further restrictions on abortion. As if we needed a survey to tell us that.
