Schools would be required to show prenatal video as lawmakers change abortion definition
Two measures deal with reproduction making their way to the governor following Senate votes
PIERRE – Abortion in South Dakota would not include medical treatments to resolve a miscarriage or remove an ectopic pregnancy under legislation heading to the Governor’s Office.
It would also exclude the removal of a “deceased unborn child,” medical procedures done to save the life of an unborn child or medical treatments provided to a pregnant woman that accidentally resulted in the unintentional death of an unborn child.
