South Dakota Governor signs 3-day Wait for Abortion into law

Good for South Dakota (my mom’s birth state). I mean…it actually makes more sense to ask someone to wait 3 days to make a decision about killing a baby (not a constitutional right) than it does to make someone wait 7 days to buy a gun (our most sacred constitutional right).

Via ABC News:

Women who want an abortion in South Dakota will face the longest waiting period in the nation — three days — and have to undergo counseling at pregnancy help centers that discourage abortions under a measure signed into law Tuesday by Gov. Dennis Daugaard.

Within minutes of Daugaard’s announcement that he had signed the measure, abortion rights groups said they plan to file a lawsuit challenging the measure, which one said could create particular hardships for women who live in rural areas hundreds of miles from the state’s only abortion clinic in Sioux Falls.
