A freshly minted pro-abortion organization is gathering signatures to place South Dakota's new abortion law on the November ballot. If South Dakota Campaign for Healthy Families collects the signatures of 16,728 registered voters by June 19 the law will be put on hold until November 7.

The coalition includes representatives of Planned Parenthood, Pastors for Moral Choices, Hadassah, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the South Dakota Network for Women, and some Indian Tribal office holders, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Should the organization fail to collect the necessary signatures, the law would go into effect July 1. South Dakota's law was signed by Gov. Mike Rounds on March 6. HB1215 makes it a felony for an abortionist to perform an abortion unless necessary to prevent the death of the mother.

Currently there are at least five votes on the United States Supreme Court to uphold Roe v. Wade. Justices Anthony Kennedy, David Souter, and John Stevens voted in favor of Roe in the case of Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Justices Stephen Breyer and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are known to support Roe. Two justices, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas, are known to oppose Roe. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito have not voted on the holding of Roe.

Just prior to enactment of the legislation, Fox News published a poll which was conducted by phone February 28March 1. Nine hundred registered voters were surveyed nationwide.
