The South Dakota constitution’s proposal has much names, according to pro-abortion activists, to make it eligible for the November 2024 vote.
Dakotans for Health, the party leading the vote work, told NBC News it has collected more than 55, 000 signatures from registered voters ahead of the May 7 date, which is more than the 35, 000 required to appear on the ballot. By December 2023, the organization claimed to have gathered 50 000 names.  ,
The proposed constitutional amendment would only permit the position to regulate abortion in the second week in ways that are related to the pregnant woman’s bodily wellbeing. It would only allow pregnancies during the first trimester of pregnancy. The article may make it possible to regulate or forbid abortion during the third month, with the exception of when it is necessary to protect” the life or health” of the family.
Abortion is already prohibited in the state, with the exception of “preserving the life of the female woman.” The state’s current law may be overturned if the measure were to be put on the ballot and be passed by a basic lot.  ,
“]The measure ] may recover women’s personal , liberty and reverse South Dakota’s cover abortion restrictions by writing into our law the protections contained in the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision”, Dakotans for Health co- founder Rick Weiland said.  ,
Weiland said that the Freedom Amendment gives people the power to choose deeply personal matters involving their own bodies and futures. Every woman should have the freedom to decide whether to end or keep a pregnancy.
Pro- life activists have been, and plan to continue challenging the abortion effort, according to the report.  ,
” And even if the measure does ultimately reach the ballot in November, it’s no guarantee it will pass in the conservative state, which Donald Trump won by 26 points in the 2020 election”, the report continues.  ,
South Dakota is one of nearly a dozen states where pro- abortion activists are  , working , to codify the right to kill the unborn.
