March Toward The Court
The SD State House has passed a bill that would outlaw nearly all abortions in the state. The AP reports that supporters rejected proposed amendments that would have made exceptions for rape, incest and the health of the mother, but did include a provision allowing abortions if the danger to the mother included risk of death. The measure, which passed 47-22, is now on its way to the State Sen, where GOPers outnumber Dems 25-10. Supporters say they hope the bill will be challenged and will make it to SCOTUS, setting up pro-choicers’ worst fears: A re-ruling on Roe involving Sam Alito and John Roberts.
