"Referred Law 6" rejected 56% to 44%: South Dakota Abortion Law Defeated.(Brief article)
A South Dakota abortion law that would have banned abortion unless necessary to prevent the death of the mother was defeated in a referendum November 7.
The legislation actually passed last March and was signed into law by Gov. Mike Rounds. However, state law allows citizens to enact or repeal legislation via ballot. Opponents secured enough signatures to have the law placed on the ballot and "Referred Law 6"as the law was called on the ballotlost 56% to 44%.
National Right to Life and its state affiliate South Dakota Right to Life both urged South Dakota voters to vote in favor of the abortion ban. National Right to Life ran radio ads, printed literature for distribution, and mailed its members urging that the ban be upheld in the referendum.
