Roe v. Wade? That Never Happened

In South Dakota, voters are asking legislature to pass a law that would make it nearly impossible for a woman to get an abortion. To qualify for an abortion, a woman would have to go to the police and report rape or incest. It would also be a felony to induce abortions, perform any type of procedure, or prescribe any type of drugs to induce an abortion. There is only one abortion clinic in South Dakota, which performs about 800 abortions a year. The landmark Supreme Court ruling in 1973, Roe v. Wade, gave women the right to choose to have an abortion. Critics say that if the initiative is passed that it could end up going to the Supreme Court, where Roe v. Wade could be overturned.
