South Dakota banned abortions. This is a deliberate move to challenge Roe v. Wade, as well as the "health and life of the mother" test. One wonders if South Dakota is taking its cues from Kansas. However, there is a difference: Kansas restricts its stupidity to state law, not federal law.
Anyway, it would be a disaster to overturn Roe v. Wade for various reasons. Currently, women are better off than before Roe. v. Wade. First and foremost, women's safety is increased because of legalized abortions. Women have more control over their own bodies and do not perform back-alley abortions as frequently. Secondly, women who have been sexually abused are able to deal with that without having to deal with a physical product of that abuse. Third, health concerns of women as well as life concerns are protected. Reproductive rights also give women more control of their own lives.
