“Late Tuesday, the South Dakota state House passed a pro-life bill that would ban sales of the abortion pill that has killed millions of unborn babies and injures countless thousands of women,” according to Life News.
The report notes:
The chamber approved Rep. Steven Haugaard’s measure to ban abortion drugs — an amended version of HB1208 that changed the definition of a chemical abortion drug to include alternate uses of those medications.
“The bill as amended addresses the issue raised in committee about the alternate uses for some of these drugs,” said Haugaard in discussion of the bill. He told lawmakers “a human life begins at conception.”
According to the Argus Leader:
A chemical abortion drug is defined in HB1208’s text as “mifegyne, mifeprex, mifepristone, and any other pharmaceutically equivalent drug, unless the drug is to be used for a purpose other than an abortion.”=
That exception for alternate uses was also applied to section 3 of the bill, setting penalties for any physician who dispense, manufacture, prescribe, sell, or transfer any chemical abortion drug.
With advancements in technology, Haugaard said science proves life begins in the womb and he’s hoping with this bill that will be reiterated, along with whatever comes out of the United States Supreme Court on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case.
“I would hope we’d act on whatever the Dobbs case rolls out,” said Hauggard. “But for right now, we know that abortions are taking place probably every day.”
All states should ban baby killers.
The alternatives for South Dakota citizens are simple.
