South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem marked the anniversary of Roe v. Wade on Friday by introducing legislation to protect unborn babies from abortion in the hopes that the infamous ruling soon will be overturned.
The pro-life Republican governor released two pro-life draft bills Friday, including one that would ban abortions once an unborn baby’s heartbeat is detectable, about six weeks of pregnancy.
“Every human life is unique and beautiful from the moment it is conceived. Every life is worthy of our protection, worthy of the right to live,” Noem said in a statement.
Similar to the Texas law that has been in effect since September, saving thousands of lives, Noem’s bill includes a private enforcement mechanism that allows individuals to sue abortionists and others who knowingly aid or abet in abortions that kill unborn babies with beating hearts. Mothers of the aborted babies may not be sued, and lawsuits may not be filed by men who impregnated the mothers through rape or incest.
