Post Roe v Wade abortion law in South Dakota only allows for exceptions to save life of mother

During a Sunday morning appearance on CNN, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem was asked whether she thinks there should be exceptions for survivors of rape and incest when it came to abortion laws.

Apparently, she does not.

Ms Noem’s interview with Dana Bash on *State of the Union *covered a wide range of topics given that the governor is seen as a leading contender to be Donald Trump’s running mate.

On abortion, she spoke in favour of the issue being decided by individual states post-Roe v Wade, referencing a decades-old trigger law that came into effect in her state after the Supreme Court struck down the 1973 decision.

Abortion is now banned in South Dakota, with the only exception being to save the life of the mother.

    Say it with me:

    Pro life policies kill women and empower rapists.

        Listening to his standup makes me feel like a giant idiot. Republicans have been the same party for decades, they’ve just tried less and less to sugarcoat their views.
