> Dear Jenifer,
>
> A bill that would ban nearly all abortions in South Dakota and spark a
> challenge to the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision is heading
> to Governor Mike Rounds for his signature. *Planned Parenthood, which
> operates the only clinic performing abortions in South Dakota, has
> pledged to challenge the measure in court if Gov. Rounds signs it
> into law.*
>
> Gov. Rounds' signature would mark the first time since the 1973 Roe v.
> Wade decision legalizing abortion nationwide that a state legislature
> has passed such a sweeping ban. *The bill, known as H.B. 1215, makes
> abortion illegal except to save the life of the mother.*
>
> The bill was sponsored in the House by *Rep. Roger Hunt, a Republican,*
> and in the Senate by *Sen. Julie Bartling, a Democrat.* The bill
> states that *"life begins at the time of conception ..." and that
> "under the Constitution of South Dakota, a pregnant mother and her
> unborn child ...each possess a natural and inalienable right to life."*
>
> The legislators went through the proper legislative channels to pass
> the law, *and did not depend on an activist judge to make law like the
> pro-abortion supporters do.*
>
> *Urgent Action Needed!*
> *It is important that Gov. Rounds hears from pro-life Christians all
> across America. Please read and sign the urgent petition to South
> Dakota Governor Rounds.* The petition includes a 'thank you'
> to the South Dakota House and Senate sponsors of the pro-life
> legislation.

>
>
> *Please forward this important alert to family and friends.* More than
> 47 million abortions have been performed in the 33 years since the Roe
> v. Wade decision *and this could signal new hope for the unborn child.*
>
> Thank you for caring enough to get involved.
