South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem on Jan. 21 announced two bills that would ban almost all abortions in the state, with one seeking to ban abortions in which a fetal heartbeat is detectable, and the other seeking to ban telemedicine abortions.
âEvery 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,â Noem, a Republican, said in a statement. âThese bills will ensure that both unborn children and their mothers are protected in South Dakota.â
The governor for weeks previewed the heartbeat bill, which received an enthusiastic reception from fellow Republicans who dominate the stateâs legislature. It would prohibit abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detectable, usually at around six weeks of gestation, before some women know theyâre pregnant. The law has no exception for rape or incest.
