"The SD Senate passed an abortion ban 23-12 that has one exception: life of the mother.
Republican Sen. Bill Napoli of Rapid City said, 'This bill is as straight forward and as honest as it can be. It just says no more abortions unless the life of the mother is threatened.'Republican Sen. Tom Dempster of Sioux Falls said, 'This bill ends up being cold, indifferent and as hostile as any great prairie blizzard that this state has ever seen.''
Democrat Sen. Julie Bartling of Burke said the time is right for the ban on abortion.
‘In my opinion, it is the time for this South Dakota Legislature to deal with this issue and protect the rights and lives of unborn children,’ she said during the Senate's debate. ‘There is a movement across this country of the wishes to save and protect the lives of unborn children.’
