Sioux Falls, SD-- Today, Governor Noem issued an executive order further limiting access to safe, legal abortion in South Dakota.
Below is a statement from Kristin Hayward, manager of advocacy and development in South Dakota for Planned Parenthood Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota Action Fund:
“Anti-abortion politicians will stop at nothing to restrict access to abortion in South Dakota. Governor Noem will do whatever she can to control South Dakotans’ reproductive health care. We know most South Dakotans support the right to safe, legal abortion, but Noem is following a vocal minority that is attacking abortion, contraception, and comprehensive sex education in this country. Planned Parenthood will always stand up for patients and communities. That’s why those of us who support reproductive freedom must speak up now before it’s too late—and encourage our friends, families, and communities to do the same.”
