South Dakota
“South Dakota maintains some of the most comprehensive and protective abortion-related laws in the nation, protecting women and unborn children through health and safety standards and comprehensive informed consent requirements,” writes AUL.
South Dakota also prohibits destructive embryo research, human cloning, and fetal experimentation.
AUL notes that in 2020, South Dakota passed a resolution denouncing the National Education Association’s policy to support a “fundamental right to abortion” stating, “South Dakota recognizes that abortion ends the life of a whole, separate, unique, living human being.”
